1 c. butter, softened
1 c. quick-cooking oats
1/2 c. baking cocoa
2 c. boiling water
3 c. packed brown sugar
2 tsp. vanilla extract
4 eggs
2 c. flour
2 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 (16 oz.) can or 2 c. chocolate frosting

Place the butter, oats and cocoa in a mixing bowl; add boiling water and stir until butter is melted. Add brown sugar and vanilla; mix well. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; add to oat mixture just until combined. Pour into a greased 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan.

Bake at 375°F for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool completely on a wire rack. Frost with chocolate frosting.
