The Best Oatmeal Cake Ever
By A Cowboy's Wife •
November 4, 2008
This oatmeal cake is the best ever and this is coming from someone who not a big fan of oatmeal. Not only that, it is very popular among the men. This was something that I cooked for the cowboys and they would tell my husband how much they enjoyed the dessert. I personally think it borders the food porn side…..yeah, it’s that good!
INGREDIENTS:
For the Cake:
- 1 1/4 c Boiling Water
- 1 c Quick Oats
- 1 stick butter
- 1 c brown sugar
- 1 c white sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/3 c flour
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. nutmeg
For the Icing:
- 1/2 stick butter
- 1 c brown sugar
- 1/4 c evaporated milk
- powered sugar
DIRECTIONS:
Mix water, oats, and butter & let stand for 15 minutes. Add remaining ingredients together in a bowl. Add oatmeal mixture to the bowl and mix well. Bake in an 8 x 11 casserole dish at 350′ for 30 minutes.
ICING DIRECTIONS:
Melt ingredients together in saucepan and cool. Add powered sugar until thick enough to pour over cake. Pour over HOT cake! I usually take a toothpick and poke holes throughout the cake so that the icing sinks in…YUMMY!
OH.MY.GOSH…..this is SOOOOOO good!!! Enjoy:)
That looks really good. Have to try it soon.

WOW. I WHIPPED THIS UP IN ABOUT 5 MINUTES (EXCLUDING THE 15 MINUTE WAIT ON THE OATS), PERFECT!!! IT’S THE BEST OF A SPICE CAKE AND A CARROT CAKE ALL IN ONE. ACTUALLY BETTER.. THANKS. I DIDN’T USE THE ICING; THE CAKE IS SO GOOD.
