Old Fashioned Oatmeal Cake
My grandma’s oatmeal cake might be classed as a ‘lazy cake’ but it is far from bland. Super easy to bake from scratch, this oatmeal cake recipe has been a family favorite ever since I can remember.
I love that the cake manages to stay moist, even when you bake it because the oats have been soaked in the boiling water. The flavorful layer cake is topped by a thick layer of creamy white frosting. For me, the frosting is always the best part of this oatmeal cake.
INGREDIENTS
For the oatmeal cake:
1 ½ cups of boiling water
1 cup of quick oats
1 ½ cups of shortening
1 cup of brown sugar
1 cup of white sugar
2 eggs
1 ⅓ cup of flour
½ teaspoon of salt
½ teaspoon of nutmeg
1 teaspoon of soda
1 teaspoon of cinnamon
For the frosting:
1 cup of milk
½ a cup of flour
1 cup of powdered sugar
½ a cup of margarine
½ a cup of shortening
1 teaspoon vanilla
INSTRUCTIONS
For the oatmeal cake:
Pour boiling water over the oats and let them sit for 20 minutes.
Cream shortening, then add sugar and rest of cake ingredients. Mix in the oats.
Use baking spray to evenly coat a 9×13 pan and then pour your batter in.
Bake at 325 degrees for 40-45 minutes.
For the frosting:
