This is the BEST CAKE I have ever eaten! A moist cake made with oats, and lightly spiced with nutmeg is topped with a broiled coconut icing. Not too sweet, not too dry, just amazing.

Time 1h10m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup rolled oats
1 ¼ cups boiling water
1 cup white sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
½ cup shortening
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 eggs
6 tablespoons melted butter
½ cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons heavy cream
⅔ cup flaked coconut
½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, stir oats into boiling water. Set aside to soak for 20 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan.
  • In a medium bowl, cream together the white sugar, 1 cup brown sugar and shortening until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Sift in the flour, baking soda, salt and nutmeg; stir just until moistened. Mix in the soaked oats. Pour into the prepared pan, and spread evenly.
  • Bake for 35 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven, until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean. Turn the oven to the broil setting and let it heat up.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the melted butter, 1/2 cup brown sugar, heavy cream, coconut and vanilla. Spread over the top of the cake. Broil for a few minutes, just until the coconut is lightly browned.
