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:)

For Diabetics type 2… try using 4 Sweet& Low (or other sugar substitute) in place of the white sugar…and in place of the Icing try a sprinkle of cinnamon.
There are a number of tricks you can try as your tastes may very!
I’ve never heard of an oatmeal cake but this sounds good (and it looks like you used your Kitchenaid to make it).
I think, “Borders the food porn side” is a bit much, don’t you?
Otherwise, it’s a great recipe. I just wish we didn’t feel the need to sink into trash talk and think it’s funny.
Ellie….Why is it necessary to criticize? This is a DARNED good recipe and if you can’t stand a little semantics ..Perhaps this is not the place for you.
Yes, I am assuming you sprayed your pan with oil before baking the oatmeal cake. I am trying it now so will let you know how it turned out. A friend of mine baked one for a church dinner and it was a hit so I am trying your recipe as I haven’t gotten hers as yet.
Fantastic cake! I followed the directions exactly and it turned out perfect although I did have to cook it a touch longer than the 30 minutes ( I used a 2″ deep half hotel pan to cook it in). I am a kitchen manager and make all of the desserts. I will definately add this to my rotation. If anyone asks I will give them the URL to get recipe. Thank you. -Tony
