1-1/4 cup boiling water
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1-1/2 cup flour
1 t baking soda
1 t cinnamon
1/2 t salt
1/2 t nutmeg
1 cup sugar
1 cup light brown sugar (firmly packed)
2 eggs (beaten)
In large mixing bowl combine oatmeal, water, and butter. Let set about 10 minutes or until butter is melted. Stir together flour, soda, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg. Set aside. Add sugars and eggs to cereal mixture. Add flour. Mix well. Pour batter into greased 9 x 13 pan. Bake at 350 about 45 minutes. Spread coconut topping over top of hot cake. Bake 20 minutes longer or broil 2 or 3 minutes to brown top. Cool completely.
Topping: 3-1/2 oz. flaked coconut, 1 cup chopped pecans, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/3 cup margarine softened, and 1/4 cup evaporated milk. Mix well and spread on hot cake.
This is good, especially warm with ice cream or whip cream on the side. I really liked the coconut crunch on top. It's kind of cool to have a cake without frosting on it.
