    Oatmeal Spice Cake and Frosting


    Source of Recipe


    Internet

    List of Ingredients




    2 ¼ cups boiling water
    1 ½ cup old fashioned rolled oats (not quick cooking or instant)
    ½ cup butter (1 stick)
    3 eggs, beaten
    1 ½ cups brown sugar
    2 ¼ cups sifted wheat flour
    1 ½ cups sugar
    1 ½ tsp baking soda
    1 ½ tsp cinnamon
    ¾ tsp nutmeg
    ¾ tsp salt

    Recipe



    Add oats and butter to boiling water. Reduce heat and cook for five minutes to soften oats. Meanwhile, mix together the beaten eggs and the brown sugar, and set aside.

    Sift the rest of the dry ingredients together into a large bowl. Add the softened oats and the egg mixture and stir together. Batter will be heavy. Pour into a 9 x 13 pan and bake at 350 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes. While baking, prepare the icing (recipe to follow).

    Ingredients for the icing:
    1 1/3 cups brown sugar
    ½ cup cream or canned milk
    2 cups shredded coconut
    ½ cup butter
    1 tsp vanilla extract
    1 cup chopped nuts

    Directions for the icing:
    In a medium saucepan, melt the butter. Add the brown sugar and stir to melt and combine. Add the remaining ingredients and stir until combined. When cake is done, pour the icing onto the hot cake. Broil for five minutes, watching cake closely, until icing is bubbly.
