Youngster's Cake recipe

I was craving this old family favorite today so baked it up for dessert. Hey, it has oats, peanut butter, and milk in it....practically a healthy cake :-)

Youngster's Cake 

1/3 c butter 

2/3 peanutbutter 

1 1/2 c brown sugar 

2 eggs 

1 1/2 c flour 

1 tsp b powder 

1 c milk 

1 c oats 

1 c chocolate chips 

Beat together the fats, sugar and eggs. Stir in dry ingredients and milk, mix well. Fold in chocolate chips. Pour in a greased 13x9 pan and bake at 350 for 30 minutes. 

For the icing combine - 1/2 c peanut butter and 1/3 c milk in a saucepan, cook over medium heat until smooth and well blended. Stir in 1/2 c brown sugar, 1 1/3 c coconut, and if desired (we always do, but the original recipe does not call for this) add another 1 c chocolate chips. Stir over low heat till chips are melted. Then spread over warm cake. Broil until icing becomes bubbly. Delicious:-)
