Walnut Orange Breakfast Cake
1 c. quick cooking oats
1 1/2 c. orange juice
1/2 c. butter
1 1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. brown sugar (packed)
2 eggs
1 t. vanilla
1 3/4 c. flour
1 t. baking powder
1 t. baking soda
1/2 t. salt
1/4 t. cinnamon
1/2 c. chopped walnuts
Topping:
1 1/2 c. packed brown sugar
3/4 c. butter, cubed
3 T. orange juice
3 C. coconut
1 1/2 c. chopped walnuts
In a small bowl, stir oats and orange juice until softened, set aside. In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugars; beat in eggs and vanilla until well combined. Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon; add to the creamed mixture alternately with oat mixture. Stir in walnuts. Pour into a greased 9x13 baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
In a small saucepan, combine brown sugar, butter and orange juice. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat. Cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in coconut and walnuts. Gently spread over warm cake. Broil 1-2 minutes or until top is bubbly.
*I have found that it works best if you make the topping and then IMMEDIATELY put it on the cake (don't make and let sit while your cake is cooking)...otherwise it drys out.
*I have also found that this cake serves best if you let it cool before you eat it...it's a little crumbly unless it has time to set up...BUT it tastes delicious no matter when you eat it....hot or cooled.
