Instructions



1. Grease and lightly flour a 9" springform pan; set aside. Pour boiling water over oats. Stir until combined; let stand 20 minutes. Combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, salt and nutmeg. Set aside.
   
2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the 1/2 cup butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds or until softened. Add sugar, the first 1/2 cup brown sugar, and vanilla; beat until combined. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each. Add flour mixture and oatmeal mixture alternately to beaten mixture, beating on low to medium speed after each addition just until combined. Pour batter into prepared pan.

Remove from heat. Stir in pecans or walnuts and coconut. Spread over warm cake. Broil about 4" from heat for 2 to 3 minutes or until topping is bubbly and golden. Cool on a wire rack before serving.
