Ingredients

  • ½ cups Butter Or Oil
  • 2 cups Brown Sugar
  • 2 whole Eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla
  • 2 cups Cooked Oatmeal
  • 1-½ cup Flour

  • 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • Optional Additions: Shredded Coconut, Chopped Nuts, Diced Apple.

Preheat oven to 350F.

Cream together the butter (or oil), sugar, eggs, vanilla and oatmeal. Then sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Add to creamed mixture and mix well.

This is a great recipe that lends itself to much experimentation with flavors. I left out the cinnamon and vanilla and added 2 tablespoons of espresso powder and 1 1/2 teaspoons of hazelnut extract. It has a very aggressive coffee flavor but that’s just what I like. Great, moist cake that couldn’t be easier to make.

This is very tasty!!!! I will most definitely make again. Made this exactly as written. No optional add ins. Also, I feel there’s no need to add any sort of icing ormglaxe- perfect as is!

Did not even last one shift at work. I made maple cream cheese frosting. Next time I am going decrease the sugar a bit in the cake, use the frosting and make 4 sections. One chopped toasted pecans, one shredded coconut, one mini chocolate chips and one with all three!

Very nice! I adjusted the amount of sugar and spices since I was working with oatmeal that was already sweetened with cinnamon and raisins. The kids enjoyed it, so it’s a hit, thanks!

I’ve made this twice and was very pleased both times. Best way to use leftover oatmeal of all that I’ve tried. I added 1/2 c. unsweetened coconut, 1 c. chopped dried apricots (our favourite) or dried cranberries and 1/2 c. chopped pecans. Moist and delicious! I will point out that mine took just over an hour to cook in my stoneware 13×9. Much longer than directed in the recipe, but now that I know that we will plan accordingly.
