Oatmeal Cake by Nena Gordon

I had this cake at a dinner party last week and it was AWESOME!!! I asked for the recipe. The "frosting" tastes like pecan pralines.



Mix:
1 c. quick oatmeal
1/2 c. margarine
1 1/2 c. boiling water

Let these ingredients stand for 20 minutes.

Then stir in:
1 c. brown sugar
1 c. granulated sugar
1 1/2 c. flour
1 tsp. baking soda
2 eggs
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla

Pour into 9x13 pan. Bake @ 350 degrees for 25-30 min (until toothpick comes out clean).

While cake is still warm, mix the following ingredients and spread over the top:
1/2 c. melted margarine
1 c. brown sugar
1 c. coconut
1 c. chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts)
1/2 c. condensed milk

Broil additional 5-10 minutes.
