Oatmeal Cake

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 13x9x2" baking pan. Combine boiling water, margarine, and oats; stir a few times to blend, then set aside until margarine melts (about 20 minutes). Mix white sugar, brown sugar, and eggs; beat until creamy. Combine flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Add the flour mixture and the sugar-egg mixture to the oatmeal mixture; mix thoroughly. Pour batter evenly into the greased 13x9x2" baking pan and bake 35 to 40 minutes at 375 degrees F or until cake is done. Frosting 6 tablespoons margarine (not melted) 1/2 cup white sugar 1/2 cup evaporated milk 1 cup grated coconut 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 3/4 cup chopped nuts Combine all ingredients. As soon as you remove the cake from the oven, spread the frosting over the top of the cake. Broil the frosted cake until the margarine melts and the coconut is tinted with brown.
