Servings: 12
Ingredients
Cake:
- 1 cup oats
- 1/2 cup butter, cut into smaller squares
- 1 1/4 cup boiling water
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp dried ginger
- 1/2 tsp allspice
- 1/2 tsp salt
Frosting:
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 3 tbsp milk
- 3/4 cup shredded coconut
- 1/3 cup chopped nuts (I used walnuts)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 and prepare a 9 x 13" pan by either spraying it with cooking spray or lining it with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, combine the oats, butter and boiling water. Stir to combine and set aside for 10-15 minutes while you prep the rest of the ingredients.
- In a medium bowl, place eggs and both sugars (1 cup granulated and 1 cup brown) and beat until combined. Add in vanilla and beat again.
- In another bowl, sift together dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, cinnamon and spices); add it to the egg/sugar mixture along with the soaked oatmeal mixture and mix until combined.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-40 minutes (or until golden and the middle springs back when pressed gently).
- When the cake is baked, remove from oven (and set oven to broil) and let cook while you prepare the frosting.
- In a bowl, combine all of the frosting ingredients and mix until combined; pour over the cake and place cake under the broiler (watching to make sure it doesn't burn)
- Serve warm or at room temperature and it can also be frozen!
