How To Make oatmeal cake

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.

Step 2

To make the oatmeal cake, combine the oatmeal and the boiling water and let the oats soak while you work on the rest of the recipe.
Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, salt, ground cinnamon, and ground nutmeg.
Step 4

Beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a large bowl using a handheld mixer on medium speed until blended. Add the eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla extract and stir to combine using a spoon.
Step 5

Stir the softened oats into the mixture. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the top comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Step 6

When the cake is almost done baking, make the coconut topping. Stir the melted butter, brown sugar, milk, shredded coconut, and walnuts together in a medium bowl.
Step 7

Spoon the mixture over the warm baked cake, using an offset spatula to level it. Place it under the broiler for 1-2 minutes. Keep a close eye on it as broilers are unpredictable.
