Oatmeal Cake
This is the easiest cake I've ever made. Takes about 10 minutes to throw together and 30 minutes to bake. If you suddenly remember you need to take dessert for a crowd, this is the one you need to throw together. I've been craving it lately, as I've made it for several events and more people showed up than expected (a nice problem to have) and I had to cut it into teeny-tiny servings so that everyone could have some.
Boil 1 3/4 cups water
Add 1 cup oatmeal
Add 1 stick of butter and stir until melted
Add: 1 cup brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 cup sugar, 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 1/2 cup flour.
Mix well and pour into greased 9" x 13" pan.
Cover raw cake with mixture of:
1 cup brown sugar
4 tablespoons (1/2 a stick) of butter
1 cup chopped nuts
1 cup coconut
Bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.

That cake was sooooo good! I'm going to try to make a homemade cake tonight for Travis' birthday....we'll see how it turns out. Or else I'll just make a really good dinner and a box cake. :) I miss you!
