## 👩‍🍳 Directions

### Step 1: Soak the Oats

In a bowl, pour the boiling water over the oats. Let sit for **20 minutes** to absorb and soften.

### Step 2: Make the Batter

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla; mix well.

Add the soaked oats and stir to combine.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Gradually stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture.

Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.

### Step 3: Bake

Bake for **35–40 minutes**, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

### Step 4: Prepare the Topping

While the cake bakes, combine all topping ingredients in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until melted and smooth.

### Step 5: Broil the Topping

When the cake is done baking, remove it from the oven and **immediately spread the topping** evenly over the hot cake.

Place the cake under the broiler for **2–3 minutes**, watching carefully until the topping is bubbly and golden. Do not walk away—it can burn quickly!
