Add dry ingredients to the oatmeal mixture, then stir into the shortening (margarine), sugar and eggs. Bake in a greased 8 x 12 inch pan in a preheated 350 F oven for 35 mins.

For the frosting, bring the margarine, milk, and sugar to a boil. Add remaining ingredients and cool slightly before spreading over cake.
