My Grandmother's Oatmeal Cake

Place oats and butter in a 2 cup dish. Pour boiling water over and let soften. Mix flour, salt and soda together and set aside. Cream sugar and eggs. Add nutmeg and cinnamon. Add oat mixture to creamed mixture alternately with flour mixture. Stir in nuts. Pour into 9X13-in. pan sprayed with non-stick spray. Bake at 325* for approx. 30 min or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Do not overcook. In the meantime, prepare glaze by mixing powdered sugar, butter and vanilla in a small saucepan. Add enough milk to a glaze consistency and cook and stir just to boiling. Remove cake from oven and puncture holes with toothpick throughout the top. Pour warm glaze over and spread with an offset spatula. Sprinkle additional roasted nuts on top if desired.
