Ingredients
  

Cake Base

Method
 

Baking Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine oats, flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Pour in the milk, vegetable oil, and eggs, then mix until just combined.
  3. Pour the batter into a greased baking dish and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and set in the center.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine the sweetened shredded coconut and brown sugar. Mix well to ensure an even distribution.
  5. Once the cake is baked, sprinkle the coconut mixture evenly over the top. Place under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, watching closely.
  6. Remove from oven and allow the cake to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat. Soaking oats overnight enhances moisture for a tender cake. Watch closely when broiling the topping to avoid burning. Allow cake to rest before serving for better flavor and texture.
