"This is my mother's recipe from when we were kids, and the first recipe I prepared solo as a child. My mother's old cookbook still bears the traces of a cooking mishap. I had a little problem with the hot water and a metal bowl. Needless to say, don't pick up a metal bowl with boiling water in it -- it's HOT. Icing the cake while slightly warm is essential, the icing goes on much easier and forms a nice glaze. It's very moist cross between a bar and a cake."
Heat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a 17 x 11 x 2 pan.
In a mixing bowl, combine the first 9 ingredients. Pour into baking pan.
Bake 20 minutes. If you are using a dark baking pan, check for doneness at 15 minutes. Cool slightly.
Make Icing: Put powdered sugar into a medium-size bowl.
In a small bowl, combine water and butter, than add vanilla and syrup.
Add to sugar and beat until creamy, adding water to obtain correct consistency. Drizzle over slightly warm cake.
