GRAMMY'S OATMEAL SPICE CAKE
Growing up, this was my favorite cake. It is my grandmother, Zelda's recipe. I LOVE the frosting. It's basically the same type of frosting you'd use on a German chocolate cake. The cake is moist and dense--almost on the verge of being a sweet bread. The frosting, well, I can eat it with a spoon and be happy.

- 4. When oatmeal mixture is cool, add eggs and dry ingredients. Stir well.

- 7. For Frosting: 1. Combine milk, brown sugar and butter in heavy pan. 2. Bring to good, rolling boil then remove from heat. 3. Stir in coconut and chopped nuts. Spread on cake while frosting is still warm, otherwise it will set up to the point you can't spread it.
