Have you ever had an Oatmeal Cake before?? If you haven't you don't know what your missing! To Read More, Click On The Recipe Title.
This little gem is very moist and full of flavor. The topping is coconut, butter, brown sugar and cream. I made this for the restaurant today and it didn't take very long for it to disappear. This is so easy to make, after the cake is baked you put the topping on and broil it for a couple of minutes till it's nice and golden brown. When you cut this the first thing you smell is the cinnamon, then you see the gooey topping mixing in with that moist cake and it's love at first bite! This recipe came from Allrecipes, there must have been 40 reviews for this cake all praising the moistness of the cake and the incredible topping. I had to make it. Now this is how I want to eat my oatmeal!!!

ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to completely boycott your blog - I freaking gain 5 lbs every time I look at a post. Psychgrad will need a bundle buggy just to wheel me around. Seriously oatmeal cake with broiled coconut and brown sugar - at my eulogy they'll say she died with a smile on her face and it's all because of bunny.
ReplyDeleteI love, love oatmeal cake! My mom used to make it for company or church, and folks would ask what it was, and she would make them guess. No one could believe oatmeal. A few years ago, I had a chocolage version of this. OUTSTANDING! If you don't have that recipe, I'd be glad to share it.
ReplyDeleteI might have to make one of them this afternoon.....
I'm new to your blog. I clicked your name from a posting at A Yankee In A Southern Kitchen.

This is my favorite cake in the whole wide world! I'm often tempted to figure out a way to make one without the brown sugar, just plain, for a vanilla cake. Have not done it yet.
