2 c. sugar

1 3/4 c. flour

1/2 Tbsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. salt

1 c. chopped walnuts

12 oz. Chocolate icing

Mint Icing

5 Tbsp. Margarine

dash of salt

3 Tbsp. milk

1 Tbsp. light corn syrup

2 1/3 c. powdered sugar

1/2 tsp. mint extract

1-2 drops green food coloring

1. melt margarine and mix cocoa.  Allow to cool.  Add honey, eggs, sugar, flour, baking powder, and salt.  Mix well.  Add nuts.  Pour batter into greased 9x13 pan.  Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes.  Cool. 

2.  Prepare mint icing:  Soften margarine.  Add salt, corn syrup, and powdered sugar.  Beat until smooth and fluffy.  Add mint extract and food coloring.  Mix.  Add milk gradually until the consistency is a little thinner than the cake frosting.
