1 cup oats 

1 1/2 cup hot water

1 cup brown sugar

1 cup white sugar

2 eggs

1 stick (half cup) butter, melted

Scroll farther down for the glaze recipe

Pour the oats in the hot water, set aside.

Preheat your oven on 350 degrees F.  Grease and flour a 9x13 pan, set aside.

In a mixer bowl, combine the brown sugar, white sugar, eggs, butter, vanilla, and cinnamon, then add the water/oats mixture.  Stir in the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.  Don't over mix the batter or the cake will be rubbery.  

Pour the batter in the 9x13 pan, and put it in the preheated oven.  Bake the cake for 35 minutes.

While the cake is baking, make your glaze.

1/3 cup butter

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1/4 cup milk

2 Tbsp. flour

1 tsp. vanilla

1 cup chopped walnuts

In a small saucepan, melt your butter.  Then add to the melted butter the brown sugar, milk, flour, vanilla, and chopped walnuts.

Immediately after the cake comes out of the oven, spread the glaze on top.  

Turn your broiler on high and put the cake in the oven, 5 inches from the boiler.  Let it broil for about 3 minutes.  It should bubble a lot and gradually turn golden brown.  Watch the cake constantly, to make sure the glaze doesn't burn.  

Let the cake cool a little, then serve.  Prepare for yumminess!
