Oatmeal Cake

This is Aaron's favorite cake and requests it for his birthday every year.
1 1/2 c water
1 tsp. salt
1 1/2 c quick oats
1 cube butter
2 eggs
1 c. brown sugar
2 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. baking soda
1 c. white sugar
1 1/2 c. flour

Topping
3/4 c. brown sugar
1/2 c butter, melted
1/4 c. evaporated milk
1 c. coconut
1/2 c. chopped nuts (we used pecans, walnuts works well also)

For cake; Boil water and salt, add in oatmeal and margarine and mix well, cool. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Pour into greased 9x13 cake pan. Bake at 350 F for 30 minutes.
For topping mix melted margarine with all ingredients until sugar is dissolved. Spread over hot cake and broil in oven until it's bubbly. Remove cake from oven and cool slightly. Serve cake warm with vanilla ice cream!

evaporated milk, but I've used regular milk as well if I didn't have any or didn't know what to do with the rest of the can.
