Texas Sheet Cake

Yay summer! I made this for a pool party. Usually, it's smooth on top, but it shifted on the ride over. Still delicious.
Cake:
2 cups sugar
2 cups flour
4 tablespoons cocoa
2 sticks butter
1 cup water
1 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 beaten eggs

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place sugar and flour in a bowl. Place cocoa, butter, and water in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Add the cocoa mixture to the flour mixture, and mix well. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix thoroughly. Pour batter into a 17x12 inch sheet pan (I used a 15x10) and bake at 350 for 15 to 20 minutes.

Icing:
4 tablespoons cocoa
6 tablespoons milk
1 stick butter
16-ounce box powdered sugar

Place powdered sugar in a mixing bowl. Bring cocoa, milk, and butter to a boil in a saucepan. Add cocoa mixture to the powdered sugar and mix well to remove the lumps. Pour icing over warm cake and let cool.
