Grease and flour a 9 x 13 cake pan and preheat over to 350
Put oatmeal in a large bowl and pour the boiling water over it and let it stand for 10 min.
(Hint: I lay the butter on top of the oatmeal the last 5 minutes and it just melts and makes it really easy to blend)
... Add softened butter, brown sugar and white sugar and stir until well blended.Add 2 eggs and blend well...Then add the flour, soda salt and cocoa. Stir until well blended and then stir in 1/2 to 3/4 cups of chocolate chips. Pour in prepared pan and sprinkle 1/2 cups chocolate chips and 1/2 cup nuts on top.Bake at 350 for 30 to 35 min.
It is really moist and very good. Enjoy y'all!

This recipe is very good and very rich. It was given to me by my friend Deb.
Sinful Cake
1 box cake mix ( use what ever choice you like, I used yellow cake mix)
4 eggs
1 1/2 cup chopped pecans (I used 2 cup roasted pecans)
1 stick melted butter
8 oz. cream cheese softened
1 box powdered sugar (or 2 cups)
Combine cake mix, 1 egg, butter and nuts. This will be thick! Press in a 9 x 13 pan. Next mix 3 eggs, cream cheese and sugar. Pour over top.Bake at 300 degrees for about 50 minutes....just check on it once or twice while baking....it should just be firm--not overbaked because it's like an ooey gooey butter cake. It is delicious. Enjoy y'all!!!
