Dr Pepper Moist Supper Cake

From the Kitchen of: Pepper

Cake:
1-1/4	cups	Dr Pepper, boiling hot
1	cup	Quick-cooking Oats or regular OldFashioned Oatmeal
1/2	cup	Shortening
1/2	cup	Sugar
1	cup	Brown sugar
2		Eggs
1/3	cups	All-purpose flour
1-1/2	teaspoon	Salt
1	teaspoon	Baking soda
1/2	teaspoon	Nutmeg

Heat the Dr. Pepper until boiling hot.
Pour the Dr. Pepper over the oats, stir and let stand 15 to 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, cream shortening, add the sugars gradually and cream well. Add eggs, beating until mixture is fluffy. Sift flour with salt, soda and nutmeg. Add flour mixture to creamed mixture, mixing well. Add oatmeal mixture and mix thoroughly.
Pour into a 9 x 9 x 2-inch pan, greased and floured. Bake at 375°F for 40 to 45 minutes or until cake tests done. Remove from oven.
If you don't have a 9 x 9-inch pan, bake this cake in a 9 x 13-inch pan. Decrease the baking time to 25 minutes, at which point it tested done. Even with the increased size of the cake, the Broiled Frosting recipe was large enough to accommodate.
