Praline Cake




A very moist sweet cake that is a twist off of a German Chocolate cake, however, you would never guess that there is oatmeal in the cake and no chocolate!

(This cake is even better served warm or reheated for a few seconds in the microwave)

CAKE:

1/2 cup regular oats
1/2 cup cold water
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup oil
1 eggs
3/4 cups flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cinnamon

ICING:

1/2 cup butter
2 Tbs milk
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup flaked coconut
1 cup chopped pecans

Combine oats and water, let stand. Cream sugars, oil, and eggs. Add oat-water mixture, flour, soda, and cinnamon. Bake at 350 for 35 min in a 9x9" baking dish or until passes the toothpick test. After the cake has finished baking, remove cake from oven and switch oven to BROIL. In a saucepan on the stove, combine butter, milk and brown sugar. Boil 1 minute, and then remove from heat. Add coconut and pecans to the butter-sugar mixture. Spread icing on cake while cake is hot. Place iced cake under the broiler until icing bubbles. You must watch it carefully! Remove cake and let cool slightly, serve warm with ice cream.
