Made this last night…it was VERY easy to throw together and absolutely moist and delicious when finished! It was a hair on the overly sweet side, but since I always seem to have a sweet tooth, it was no big deal. The coconut and pecans in the topping are delicious and broiling them really brings out their flavor.
Thanks for a great recipe! My husband and co-workers thank you!

I made this last night. I love making simple cakes like this. It was so yummy and moist. They would make great muffins! Another staple in my book.
thanks to you and your lovely grandmother (:

I doubled the recipe and made two cakes to serve a crowd. I got a lot of compliments on this yummy cake. The frosting was DELICIOUS and I know that I will use that again on other things. I added this recipe to my file and I know it will make a regular appearance on our table. Thank you for sharing.

Delicious! My Dad couldn’t stop commenting on how good this was! And my hubby ate nearly the entire cake! Thanks to you and your grandmother for an easy (and delicious!) cake that I can add to my files.

Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe! I made it yesterday for a girls get together last night. It was a hit and I can’t wait to make another for my family.

Edible, but oddly chewy (I think it is the oatmeal–and I was careful to use the right kind and soak it for long enough) and not that flavorful.

This is in the oven again…it’s a staple around here. Thought I’d reviewed this already, but I guess not! It’s amazing. Every time I taste it, I die a little.

This is an old recipe, Brandi. And timeless because it is so delicious. Many call it “Lazy Daisy Oatmeal Cake”. I probably made it first when I was about 10 or 11. It’s my Dad’s favorite birthday cake, and I will make it this July for his 83rd birthday. Thanks for sharing it with everyone who may not have ever discovered it otherwise.

That sounds really good! Thanks for sharing.

cookbooked, never heard of it called, Lazy Daisy Oatmeal Cake, what a cute name for it. I may have to start calling it that… Enjoy it in July and Celebrate big, 83 IS a big milestone! Thanks for your comment.

Karen, hope you enjoy as much as my family and I have enjoyed un-earthing this old recipe.

I have a similar recipe, given to me by an older lady I used to work with. She simply called it “oat cake”. Her recipe included cinnamon in the cake batter, but no vanilla or baking powder. It included vanilla in the topping. I’m not a huge coconut fan, but the cake was DELICIOUS, and only gets better as it sits.

This looks so good! Once all of the sweets from this past weekend are gone, I’m making this- Thanks for sharing!

I was served this cake as a new bride forty years ago, by another newly married girl whose mother had passed this recipe along to her. This brings back good memories of those early marriage days when I made this cake often. I think I will make again and see if my dear hubby remembers it.

I think I will be making this cake very soon. It looks amazing!

I <3 this cake! My mother makes one similar in a 8×8 pan. She claims it was a recipe she found when she had unexpected company 50 years ago and she only had a few things in pantry. I don't believe hers has oatmeal in it, but the broiled icing the the BEST!!!!! It speaks to me of autumn and football games and my momma!
I'm so glad to have a recipe for something like it in a larger quantity! Thanks!

I tried this wonderful cake last evening. I have many recipes for oatmeal cake with broiled frosting, but all the recipes called for too much sugar. Yours is perfect! The cake is very moist and the topping has a great, firm consistency after ‘bubbling’ under the broiler.
I will definitely keep this recipe handy! Thanks!

I remember eating this cake as a girl or something very similar. I can’t wait to make this with my girls. Thank you for sharing.
