MOIST OATMEAL CAKE

 

An old recipe that just jumped out at me from my old recipe collection is this delicious very moist oatmeal cake.  It is easy to mix up and quick to disappear from the pan.  Maybe it is the broiler icing that causes it to be so good.  Anyway, it looked worth trying and from the looks of the empty pan it must have been well received. 

 

Oatmeal Cake:

Combine 1 stick butter, I cup quick cooking oats, 1 1/2 cups boiling water.  Cover and set aside for 20 minutes.  Add to this mixture after 20 minutes, 1 cup sugar, 1 cup brown sugar, 2 eggs, 1 1/3 cups flour, 1 teaspoon soda, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.

Mix until mixture is smooth.  Bake in 9 x 13 pan at 350 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes. 

 

Broiler icing:  6 tablespoons butter

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup cream or milk

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 cup coconut

1 cup chopped pecans

Blend above ingredients and spread over hot cake

Broil until brown

 

Have Your Oats All Day Long!
