You must make this cake!

I brought it to a dinner party this weekend and it was a hit.

Pour boiling water over oats, set aside.

Cream together sugars, butter, eggs and vanilla.

Add all dry ingredients and mix.

Add oatmeal and stir.

Let cake cool.

Brown Butter Icing Ingredients

1 Stick of unsalted butter

1 Cup packed brown sugar

1 or 2 Tbsp milk

Mix with electric mixer until fluffy.

Spread on cooked cake and broil for 3 minutes (watch it or it will burn!!)
