1/2 cup oil
1 cup water
1 stick butter
2 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. cinnamon
1-1/2 tsp. baking soda
2/3 cup buttermilk
Preheat oven to 350-degrees. Grease jelly-roll pan and set aside.
Add the flour and sugar to a large bowl. Mix it up and set it aside.

Pour the boiling oil mixture over the flour and mix until well blended.
Add the eggs, cinnamon, baking soda, vanilla, and buttermilk and mix with a beater until well blended.

Allow cake to cool for at least 30 minutes.
Frosting

1 cup light brown sugar (packed)
