Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cake

This recipe is from David's mom, Susan. We love making this. It is a very moist cake and sooo good.

1 3/4 cup boiling water
1 cup oats
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup butter
2 eggs
1 3/4 cup flour
1 tbsp. cocoa
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
chocolate chips

Pour boiling water over oats. Add to the oats, the sugars and butter. Stir until melted. In a separate bowl combine dry ingredients. When the oat mixture has cooled a little, add eggs, one at a time. Mix in dry ingredients. Add 1 cup chocolate chips. Pour into a greased and floured 9x13 pan. Sprinkle chocolate chips on top. Bake at 350 for 1 hour.

**Note: we only had to cook it for 40 minutes so keep an eye on it.
