Jeralee's Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cake

Years ago our good friend Jeralee brought us the delicious cake. Today I felt like making it again, yet couldn't find the recipe. Google came to the rescue and I found 4 similar variations, which allowed me to recreate hers. One of the variations was to bake it in a jelly roll pan, for 20 minutes. I might try that next time. I also used pecans today instead of walnuts, because that's what our family prefers. Have fun making your own variations!Jeralee's Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cake
1-3/4 cups boiling water

Sift flour, soda, cocoa and salt together. Add to batter. Mix well. Pour into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Sprinkle top of cake with walnuts and remaining chips.
