Thinking about making a cake........looking through my recipes......came across this one.......it is so easy and fast........I used to make it for picnics........everyone loves it...........so moist!
Pour 1 1/2 cups of boiling water over 1 cup quick oats........let set 20 min.
Cream tog 1/2 cup soft butter and 1 cup brown sugar and 1 cup white sugar
Add 2 eggs and beat well.
Add the oats and beat well again..........Now add:
1 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp soda
1/2 tsp salt and 1 tsp cinnamon
Mix all of this up real well and pour into a greased and floured 9 x 13 pan.
Bake at 350 degrees for 35 min.
While cake is baking Make the topping.......this is why this is so fast and easy....
Cream tog 6 Tblsp soft butter and 1/2 cup brown sugar
Then add 1/4 cup canned milk, (see how old fashioned this recipe is......canned milk! I use cream. I am sure you could just use plain milk) 1/2 tsp vanilla, 1/2 cup coconut.............
Let the cake cool about 10 min..........then pour the topping over and cool some more.......don't put topping on if cake is toooooo warm......will run everywhere.
Kids love this cake.......even if they think they don't like coconut.........They won't even know it is there.
