Oatmeal Cake
There's cake under there? The brown-sugar-and-coconut topping is similar
to the topping traditionally associated with German chocolate cakes, but
this version is broiled. "
1 cup old-fashioned oatmeal
1 cups boiling water
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup shortening
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cups flour
Icing (recipe follows)
Pour boiling water over the oatmeal; set aside to cool.
Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease and flour a 9x13-inch cake pan.
Combine brown sugar, shortening, cinnamon, white sugar, eggs, baking
soda, salt and flour. Mix well; stir in soaked oatmeal and any water
that hasn't been absorbed. Pour into prepared pan and bake 40 minutes.
While cake bakes, prepare icing. Pour icing over hot cake and place
under the broiler for about 3 minutes, until icing starts to brown
slightly. Makes 24 servings.
Icing:
Melt 9 tablespoons softened butter and 1 cup brown sugar in a medium
saucepan over low heat. Add 1 (7-ounce) can flaked coconut, 1 teaspoon
vanilla, 1/2 cup evaporated milk and 1/2 cup chopped pecans.
