Oatmeal Cake

This is an easy, super delicious cake.

CAKE
Mix together:
1 1/2 cups very hot water

1/2 cup cooking oil
2 eggs

Add:
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 1/3 cups flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt

Bake in greased & floured pan at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

FROSTING
Stir over warm heat until melted & bubbly:
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup butter

Add:
2 Tbsp milk

1/2 to 1 cup either coconut or small marshmallows (I like the coconut)

If using marshmallows, stir until melted and blended well.
