Preparation Steps:
- Prepare the Oats: In a medium-sized bowl, pour the boiling water over the oats. Stir to combine, and then let them sit for about 20 minutes to soften and cool.
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking dish or a similarly sized baking pan.
- Cream the Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, using a hand mixer or a stand mixer.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next. Then, mix in the vanilla extract.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
- Mix Dry Ingredients with Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the butter and sugar mixture, mixing until well combined.
- Add Oats: Gently fold in the soaked oats into the batter until evenly distributed.
- Pour into Baking Dish: Pour the cake batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Prepare the Topping: In a separate bowl, combine the brown sugar, melted butter, evaporated milk, shredded coconut, and chopped nuts. Mix until well blended.
- Add Topping: Drizzle the topping mixture evenly over the cake batter in the baking dish.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, and the cake is golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the Lazy Day Oatmeal Cake to cool in the pan for a while before slicing and serving. It’s fantastic served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
