1 c. quick oats (preferred Old Fashioned)
1 1/2 c. boiling water
1/2 c. butter
1 c. granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 c. brown sugar
1 1/2 c. flour
2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. vanilla
4 tbsp. butter
1/2 c. cream (can milk)
1 c. brown sugar
1 c. chopped pecans
1 c. Angel flake coconut
1 tsp. vanilla

Soak oats in boiling water for 30 minutes. Cream butter, sugars and eggs, add oats with flour and cinnamon, salt, soda and vanilla.

Bake 30-40 minutes at 350 degrees (oven temperatures vary - check after 30 minutes) in a greased and floured 10 x 12 inch pan. Leave in pan - do not cool.

Mix remaining ingredients and spread on cake. Broil 5 minutes (check so it doesn't get too brown).
