Ingredients

CAKE

1 1/2 cups boiling water

1 cup quick cooking oatmeal, uncooked

1/2 cup butter

2 eggs

1 cup brown sugar

1 cup white sugar

1 1/3 cups flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, optional (I have never used this, as I prefer the pure flavor of the cinnamon)

TOPPING

6 tablespoons butter, softened

3 tablespoons milk or half-and-half

1/4 cup white sugar

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 cup finely diced pecans

1 cup coconut

Directions

CAKE

In a large bowl, combine boiling water, oatmeal and butter; let stand 20 minutes.

Add 2 eggs and beat well, by hand or with a mixer.

Add remaining cake ingredients and beat together well.

Pour batter into greased 9x13 pan.

Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes, or until you can gently press the top of the cake with your finger and the top springs back.

Allow cake to set on a rack for 10 minutes, then spread the topping over the top of the cake and broil until topping is bubbly and coconut begins to brown.

Cool completely before covering the cake.

Do not refrigerate.

TOPPING

Mix all ingredients together well in a medium bowl.

Spread topping over warm cake.

Broil as directed above.

The oatmeal cakes are almost alike but never tried the icing like that. I sounds good made like that.

I never had oatmeal in cake before, muffins but not cake. I love the idea of the broiled icing/topping. I'm dying to see how it would look.
