Brownies:
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup brewed coffee
1/4 cup dark cocoa
1/2 cup buttermilk

1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla

Frosting:
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
2 tablespoons dark cocoa
1/4 cup milk
3 1/2 cups powdered sugar

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Treat a 17 1/2x11-inch jelly roll pan with nonstick spray. Combine flour and sugar. In a heavy saucepan over medium-high heat, combine butter, shortening, coffee, and cocoa; boil, stirring frequently. Pour over flour mixture. Add buttermilk, eggs, baking soda and vanilla. Mix well. Pour into prepared pan. Bake 20 minutes. While brownies are baking, prepare frosting. Combine butter, cocoa and milk in a saucepan. Heat to boiling, stirring frequently.
