Oatmeal Cake

• Cream together:
• 1/4 c. butter, melted
• 1 c. brown sugar
• 1 c. granulated sugar
• Add:
• 2 c. left-over oatmeal! (or else make fresh oatmeal and use fresh ~
• ~ either way, it is 2 c. of COOKED oatmeal)
• 2 eggs
• Stir in:
• 1/2 t. salt
• 1 t. baking soda
• 1 1/2 t. cinnamon
• Stir in:
• 1 1/2 c. flour (I use GF flour successfully with this recipe)

Mix well. Pour into a greased 9″ x 13″ pan. Bake at 375 degrees for 40 minutes, or until done. Spread the following topping on and then return to the oven.

• TOPPING:
• 1/2 c. butter, melted
• 1/2 c. brown sugar
• 2 T. milk
• 1 c. coconut
• 1 c. nuts, chopped (I mostly use walnuts, but pecans are good, too)

When the topping is golden brown, remove from oven and cool. It’s yummy warm! Also, if the topping isn’t crisping/browning nicely I will watch it carefully under the broil. But it will burn fast so WATCH it if you do use broil.
