Chocolate Sheet Cake & Frosting

I just got this from Annie's Kitchen and haven't tried it yet, but looks good and easy.

2 c. flour
2 c. sugar
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. Salt
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 tsp. Vanilla
1/2 c. sour cream or 1/2 c. buttermilk
2 sticks butter or margarine
4 tbsp. Cocoa
1 c. water

Place 2 sticks of butter, 4 tablespoons cocoa and 1 cup water over
medium heat and bring to a boil. Pour over the flour and sugar
mixture. Mix well. Add all other ingredients. Mix well. Pour
into a greased and floured cookie sheet pan, 15 1/2 x 10 1/2
inches. Cookie sheet must be a deep cookie sheet pan. Bake at 350
degrees for 23 minutes. Ice while cake is hot.

Chocolate Frosting
1 stick butter
4 tbsp. Cocoa
6 tbsp. Milk
1 lb. box powdered sugar
1 c. pecans, chopped
1/2 tsp. Vanilla

Five minutes before cake is finished, make frosting. Mix together
butter, cocoa and milk. Cook over medium heat and bring to a boil.
Remove from stove and add sugar, nuts and vanilla. Mix well. Pour
over cake while hot.
