2 tsp. soda
1 tsp. salt

Put ingredients into a large mixer bowl and beat well adding 1 1/2 cups boiling water. Beat again, then pour into greased and floured dripper pan. Bake in a 350 degrees oven for about 30 minutes. Do not overbake!

Rocky Road Frosting

Melt together 2 squares chocolate, 1/2 cube butter or margarine, 1/4 cup water, and 1 cup miniature marshmallows. Cool and add 1 teaspoon vanilla and enough powdered sugar for desired consistency. Spread a thin layer on cake, then thin remainder of frosting and add 1 cup miniature marshmallows and 1 cup broken nuts. Spread over the cake.
