INSTRUCTIONS
This comes from "Favorite Recipes From Southern Kitchens, Desserts", Progressive Farmer Magazine subscribers...I have also made this with a combination of maple sugar/white sugar, and maple flavoring, we're mapley types, here!

1 1/4 cup boiling water
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup shortening or butter ( I use butter)
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 1/3 cup flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 cups nuts

(I cut down a bit on the sugars, and add a touch more cinnamon.)

Pour boiling water over rolled oats and let stand for ambout 20 minutes. Cream shortening, white and brown sugar; add eggs and beat well. Add oatmeal mixture. Blend in flour, which has been sifted with salt, soda and cinnamon. Add vanilla and nuts; beat until smooth. Pour into oblong pan and bake at 350F for about 40 minutes.

Broiler Frosting

6 TBS butter
1/4 cup cream
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 cup coconut
1 cup nuts

Mix above ingredients and spread on warm baked cake. Brown under broiler.
