Lazy Daisy Oatmeal Cake

1 cup 3-Minute Brand Oats
½ cup butter or margarine
1 ¼ cup boiling water
2 eggs (well beaten)
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon ginger
½ teaspoon allspice
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon cloves

Frosting:
½ cup brown sugar
¼ cup melted butter
3 tablespoons milk
¾ cup shredded coconut
1/3 cup chopped walnuts

Combine oats, butter and boiling water. Set aside for 20 minutes. Beat together the eggs, sugars, and vanilla. Sift dry ingredients and add, along with the oats, to the sugar mixture. Beat well. Pour into a greased 13 by 19-inch baking pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 350F for 30 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Cool for a few minutes. Then combine frosting ingredients, spread on cake and place under the broiler for one minute, or until frosting begins to bubble.
