Pour into the prepared baking pan and bake for 30 minutes.

Let the cake cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
5
For the frosting: Place powdered sugar and cocoa in a medium bowl (I usually use a 4-cup Pyrex mesuring cup).

Heat butter and milk in a small microwave-safe bowl in the microwave until the butter is melted (be careful - if the heat is too high, it'll splatter!).

Gradually beat the butter mixture into the cocoa mixture until smooth.

Spread the warm frosting over the cooled cake. The frosting makes about a cup or so.
