How to Make Applesauce Oatmeal Cake With Broiled Coconut Topping
- In a 1-quart saucepan, heat 1 ½ cups applesauce to boiling over medium-high heat.
- Stir in 1 cup rolled oats and let stand for 20 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease the bottom and sides of a 9-inch square baking pan with shortening.
- In a large bowl, cream together ½ cup (1 stick) softened butter and 1 cup granulated sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 2 large eggs until fluffy.
- Beat in the applesauce mixture until just combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ½ teaspoon salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, stirring until just blended.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine ½ cup shredded sweetened coconut, ¼ cup packed brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons melted butter. Mix until well blended.
- Spread the coconut topping evenly over the hot cake.
- Broil the cake, 6 inches from the heat source, for 1-2 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and bubbly. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
- Let the cake cool for 30 minutes before serving.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
