    List of Ingredients




    2 cups boiling water

    1 1/2 cups quick oatmeal

    1 1/2 sticks butter or margarine

    1 1/2 cups granulated sugar

    1 1/2 cups brown sugar

    3 eggs

    1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda

    1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon

    2 1/4 cups flour

    1 1/2 teaspoons salt

    For the topping:

    1/2 stick butter or margarine, melted

    1/2 cup evaporated milk

    1 cup granulated sugar

    1 cup shredded coconut

    1 teaspoon vanilla extract

    1 cup chopped pecans or walnuts

    Recipe



    Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

    In a mixing bowl, place oatmeal and butter or margarine with boiling water. Stir to combine. Let sit for 20 minutes.

    With an electric mixer, beat eggs. Add in white sugar and brown sugar and beat with eggs until combined. Mix together flour, salt, soda and cinnamon. Add flour mixture to egg mixture a little at a time and mix until incorporated.

    Add oatmeal mixture to batter and mix until well combined.

    Pour cake batter into a 9-by-13-inch metal cake pan that has been greased or sprayed with nonstick cooking spray.

    Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes or until cake is done.

    While cake is baking, prepare topping. In a saucepan over low heat, mix all topping ingredients and cook, stirring constantly, until sugar has melted.

    While cake is still hot, cover with warm topping.

    Place cake in broiler for 1 to 2 minutes to toast topping. Remove from broiler. Cool cake completely before serving.
