I've had this recipe a long time. It's one of my family's favorite desserts, and I still make it often.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup old-fashioned oats
  • 1-1/2 cups boiling water
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1-1/2 cups sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup baking cocoa
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • TOPPING:
  • 2/3 cup packed brown sugar

  • 1-1/2 cups sweetened shredded coconut
  • 3/4 cup chopped walnuts
  • 6 tablespoons half-and-half cream

Directions

  • 1. In a large bowl, combine the oats and boiling water. Let stand for 15 minutes or until cooled.
