Categories     dessert

Time 1h8m

Yield 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 1/4 cups boiling water
1 cup instant oatmeal
1 stick margarine
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup less 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 can evaporated milk
2 cups brown sugar
2 cups flaked coconut
1 stick margarine, slightly melted
1 cup chopped nuts

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Pour boiling water over instant oatmeal and let stand for 20 minutes. Cream together the margarine, brown sugar, and sugar. Next add the eggs, vanilla, and oatmeal and mix well. Blend in flour, soda, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well. Pour into 9 by 11-inch pan. Bake for 35 minutes.
  • Combine all ingredients. After the cake is cooked, spread icing over the cake. Place under broiler for 3 minutes or until frosting is slightly browned.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients. This will help the cake batter mix together more smoothly and evenly.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will incorporate air into the batter, making the cake lighter and more tender.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Mix in the dry ingredients gradually. This will help prevent the batter from becoming too thick or lumpy.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help the cake rise evenly.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting set properly.
