- For the cake: Adjust rack to lower third of oven; preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 9 x 13 x 2 inch baking pan.
- Put the oats in a bowl and pour in the boiling water. Let stand for 20 to 30 min.
- Sift the flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt onto a piece of wax paper; set aside.
- Using a heavy-duty mixer, preferably with a paddle attachment, beat the butter just till smooth. Gradually add in both sugars, beating at medium speed.
- Continue beating for 6 to 8 min, till the mix is creamy and fluffy.
- (There is a larger proportion of sugar to the butter so it takes awhile to achieve a creamy, slightly fluffy consistency.)
- Add in the Large eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition, then add in the vanilla. Stir in the sifted dry ingredients; thoroughly stir in the oatmeal.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it proportionately.
- Bake for 30 min, or possibly till a wooden toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out free of cake. Place pan on a wire rack and let cold for 10 min. Meanwhile, make the glaze.
- For the glaze: Combine the butter, sugar and cream and mix till well blended. Pour on the cake and spread over the top.
- Sprinkle with coconut (and/or possibly pecans), if you like, and broil till the coconut turns a pale golden brown color.
- Serves 12 to 20, depending on how cake is cut.
