Melt in microwave:
2 sticks (1 cup) margarine or butter
1/2 cup cocoa
In mixer, gently beat 4 eggs and add:
2 cups sugar
2 tsp. vanilla
Then, add cocoa butter and blend.
Add:
2 cups flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 scant tsp. salt
Pour into greased and floured 9x13 pan. Bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes until done.
Frosting:
Mix 1/2 cube softened margarine with powdered sugar, adding 1 tsp vanilla, 1/2 tsp peppermint extract and green food coloring and sufficient water to reach desired consistency (about 1 TBSP).
