Oatmeal Cake Gluten Free

Cake Layer
Ingredients:
1 cups boiling water
1 cup gluten free oats
cup butter, softened
2 eggs, beaten
cup honey
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 cups Gluten free flour, I used Trader Joes
tsp. salt
1 tsp. xanthan gum
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
coconut oil

Topping
Ingredients:
cup butter, salted
- cup brown sugar, packed (start with cup sugar, taste then add more if needed)
cup shredded coconut
cup milk
tsp. cinnamon
heaping cup pecans, chopped small

Directions:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

Add boiling water to 1 cup oatmeal in a bowl, stir and let sit for 20 minutes. Grease a 9 x 13 inch baking dish with coconut oil.

In a medium size bowl, add the dry ingredients: flour, xanthan gum, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, and baking powder and mix to combine.

In a mixing bowl beat the butter and gradually add the brown sugar until fluffy. I used the paddle attachment on my kitchenaid.

Then add the eggs and vanilla and mix until incorporated. Then add the honey and mix thoroughly. Add the oatmeal and mix once again.

Pour batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 40 minutes. Test with a toothpick. If it comes out clean it is done. I would test the cake at 35 or 37 minutes as oven temperatures vary.

Make The Topping

In a sauce pan add the butter and stir over low heat. Once melted add the brown sugar and stir to dissolve and then add the cinnamon, coconut, milk and pecans. Let this cook for a couple of minutes as it thickens a bit.

Spread the topping over cake and place back in the oven. Lower the oven rack so that it is about 8 to 10 inches below the heating element. Broil for just a couple minutes, keeping a close eye so the cake doesnt burn.

I think this cake is its absolute best served warm.
