In a large saucepan, combine the 1 cup butter, ¼ cup cocoa, and water. Bring to a boil, then cool to room temperature. Add the remaining cake ingredients and beat until smooth. Pour into the prepared pan. Bake for about 22 minutes or until a tester inserted near the center comes out clean.

I halved this recipe, as I
I halved this recipe, as I didn't want such a large cake -- but I went ahead and used the entire amount of cocoa powder for the cake in the original recipe. I didn't make the frosting, however, but used a regular icing instead. It came out well and was sufficiently "chocolatey" to please everyone in my household, including my one housemate who's picky about chocolate things.
