Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Prepare a medium bowl and combine boiling water with oatmeal. Mix well and allow it to stand for 30 minutes.
-
Grease a 9x9x2 inch baking pan to prevent sticking.
-
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Set aside for later use.
-
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Add the eggs to the creamed mixture one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract.
-
Incorporate the soaked oatmeal into the creamed mixture.
-
Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, beating until well combined.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 50 minutes, or until the top of the cake springs back when gently pressed with a fingertip.
-
For the topping: In a small bowl, combine the margarine, brown sugar, shredded coconut, egg, and milk.
-
Spread the topping mixture over the hot cake.
-
Return the cake to the oven and continue baking for an additional 10 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown.
-
Allow the cake to cool in the pan on a wire rack.
-
Once cooled, cut the Oatmeal Cake into squares and serve.
This Oatmeal Cake is best enjoyed fresh from the oven, but it also freezes well if you want to save some for later. Serve it with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra special treat. Enjoy the delightful flavors and comforting texture of this homemade Oatmeal Cake with your friends and family. 🍰✨
