Brownies

These brownies have a light, cakey texture - not a fudgy one.

1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 cup water
1/2 cup oil
1 stick butter
2 cups flour
2 cups sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon soda

Frosting:
1 stick butter, softened
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/3 cup buttermilk
1 box powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
Dash salt

Bring to boil cocoa powder, water, oil and butter. Pour over flour, sugar and salt. Add buttermilk, eggs, soda and vanilla. Pour into greased jelly roll pan (or 9 x 13" pan). Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes or until done. Combine frosting ingredients and frost brownies while hot.
