Oatmeal Cake

Oatmeal Cake combines soaked rolled oats with a spiced batter of flour, brown and white sugars, and butter, resulting in a moist, tender crumb. The sweet coconut frosting with melted butter, brown sugar, coconut flakes, and cream is broiled atop the baked cake, creating a bubbly, lightly browned topping with a toasty coconut flavor. The cinnamon and nutmeg add a warm spice note that complements the oats, making this a classic dessert that pairs well with coffee or tea for a comforting treat.
