Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Pour the boiling water over the oats in a bowl, stir well, and cool for 20 minutes. Grease and flour a 9 x 13-inch cake pan.
- 2. With mixer, mash bananas well, and add in the sugars. Beat until smooth. Stir in vanilla. Mix in the oatmeal mixture until combined.
- 3. Stir together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg. Add in 3 parts to the batter, beating a few seconds after each addition. Pour into prepared pan and bake for about 35 minutes. Remove from oven and leave cake in the pan.
- 4. TOPPING: Melt butter and stir in coconut, chopped nuts, brown sugar, and evaporated milk; blend well. Spread evenly on top of hot cake. Broil the cake about 2-3 inches from heat for a few minutes, until bubbly, but not burned. Watch carefully! Let cake cool at room temperature about 30 minutes before slicing.
