1 C. water

2 C. flour

2 C. sugar

1/2 tsp. salt

1 tsp. soda

2 eggs

In a large saucepan, bring the butter and water to a boil.  Remove from heat and stir in the remaining ingredients until smooth (I use a whisk).  Pour batter into a greased jelly roll pan (10x15x1).  Bake at 350 degrees for 12-20 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.  Cool for 10 minutes and then spread frosting over the warm cake.
