2 cups of sugar 2 cups of flour 4 teaspoons of cocoa 1 stick margarine 1/2 cup of salad oil 1/2 cup of buttermilk 2 eggs 1 teaspoon of baking soda 1 cup of water
Sift flour, sugar and cocoa in bowl. Bring to a boil in separate pan, water, margarine, oil. Pour over dry mixture and beat thoroughly. (I use Egg Beaters). Add eggs, soda and buttermilk. Beat. Pour into 10 1/4 x 15 1/4 inch brownie pan. Bake 400ºF. for 18-24 minutes. Test for doneness. While baking brownies, mix frosting.
