Cream sugar & butter. Add eggs, one at a time & beat well. Add dry ingredients alternately with buttermilk & soda. Add vanilla. Bake in 3 layer pans at 350 until done (this is a large cake!). For icing, mix sugar & cocoa. Add vanilla, water & salt. Stir until smooth. Add butter. Beat 3 minutes & pour over cake. (To make Fresh Coconut Cake, leave out cocoa & substitute 1 teaspoon baking powder for 1 of the teaspoons soda. Add 1 cup fresh coconut to icing.)
