Oatmeal Cake

Okay, this cake is sooo good. I would have never made it if I crossed this recipe, but thanks to my great friend Nikki I am now a BIG fan of this and if I gain 100 pounds from this recipe I will put all the blame on her.

Pour 1 ¼ cup boiling water over 1 ¼ cup oatmeal and 1 cube melted butter. Let stand 20 minutes while you make the rest.

Cream together then add to oatmeal mixture:
1 cup brown sugar1 cup sugar2 eggs¼ tsp. salt1 tsp. vanilla
Stir in 1 ½ cup flour, 1 tsp. soda, 1 tsp. cinnamon. Bake in greased 9 x 13 pan for 30 min. at 350

Frosting
Mix in saucepan: 2/3 cup evaporated milk, 2/3 cup sugar, 1 cube of butter. Cook, stirring constantly until it thickens. Add 1 tsp. vanilla, spread on cool or warm cake.

We made it and did 1 ½ batch of the frosting and poked holes in the cake and dumped it on and it was so yummy this way.

I agree the recipe sounds so weird but if you say it is good then I will take your word for it.

I would like to see a picture of this just so that I know how it is supposed to look in the end.

How do people come up with these recipes anyway? Poor water over oatmeal and let is soak? Was that an accident that someone was trying to fix or did they do that on purpose the first time?
