2. While cake is baking, mix oats and brown sugar in medium bowl. Cut in butter, using pastry blender or crisscrossing 2 knives, until mixture is well blended. Stir in coconut and pecans. Sprinkle over hot cake.

The original recipe is to use a Betty Crocker Snackin Cake chocolate chunk cake mix. I didn't see one plus I like Ghirardelli chocolate much better. You may choose to use which ever you prefer. Instead of using oil I used all water. It looks so good and can't wait to taste it for tonight. ENJOY!!
