Instructions
- In a large bowl, pour boiling water over oatmeal, ensuring it is fully submerged.

- Transfer the cake batter into the prepared pan, spreading it out evenly.
- Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once the cake is done, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool slightly.
- While the cake is cooling, prepare the topping by mixing together brown sugar, butter, coconut, pecans, and vanilla.
- Spread the topping evenly over the warm cake, allowing it to melt and bubble slightly.
- Return the cake to the warm oven for a few minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
