Old Fashioned Oatmeal Cake with Broiled Coconut Frosting

A vintage oatmeal spice cake with an old fashioned broiled crunchy coconut-pecan topping.

Good morning everyone. I just wanted to let y'all know that today I'm doing a Guest Post over at The Country Cook. Brandie is one of my blogging bff's and close friend, so I'm tickled to be contributing a guest post. I hope you'll pop on over and check out my recipe for this scrumptious Old Fashioned Oatmeal Cake with Broiled Frosting.

You know me, I love a good cake recipe. This delicious oatmeal cake reminds me a bit of a German Chocolate Cake. The cake part is made with oatmeal, but the frosting is a cooked coconut-pecan frosting.

After the frosting is cooked it's finished off by placing the baked cake under your ovens broiler. The broiler makes a crispy golden brown topping.  This would be a wonderful dessert to make for Mothers Day which is just few short weeks away. Lets get started on this easy Oatmeal Cake.

I have included some step by step photos of the cake and broiled frosting preparation. 

Yum! There is just something so special and delicious when it comes to a good homemade broiled pecan frosting.
