Time 1h45m

Yield 1 cake

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 cup rolled oats (not instant)
1 1/4 cups boiling water
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened at room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
2 eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
Topping, recipe follows
10 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
2/3 cup light brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup heavy cream
2/3 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
1 cup packed shredded or flaked sweetened coconut

Steps:

  • Place the oats in a medium bowl. Add the boiling water, mix, and let stand 20 minutes. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly butter a 9-inch cake pan, round or square. In a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or using a hand mixer), cream the butter until smooth. Add both sugars and mix until smooth and fluffy.
