Grandma Inez’s Oatmeal Cake

Print Options
Description
The cake, similar to a spice cake (but more dense), is baked in a tube pan, then topped with a nutty coconut mixture and set under a broiler until it crisps up. I went an extra step and topped it with freshly whipped cream, sweetened with powdered sugar, vanilla bean and cinnamon.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Uncooked Rolled Oats (old-fashioned And Quick-cooking Both Work Fine)
- 1-¼ cup Boiling Water
- ½ cups Softened Butter
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1 cup Packed Brown Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 2 whole Eggs
- 1-½ cup All-purpose Flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- ½ teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- _____
- FOR THE TOPPING:
- ¼ cups Melted Butter
- ½ cups Brown Sugar
- 3 Tablespoons Half-and-Half Or Milk
- ½ cups Chopped Nuts
- 1 cup Flaked Coconut
Preparation
Stir oatmeal into boiling water. Cover and set aside for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, mix butter, sugars, vanilla and eggs till fluffy. Fold into oatmeal. Sift together flour, soda, salt and cinnamon. Mix with oatmeal mixture. Pour into a greased and floured tube pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 50-55 minutes. Do NOT remove cake from pan.
Mix topping ingredients well and spread on the hot cake. Broil until light brown and bubbly. Allow to cool slightly before removing from the tube pan. (Don’t flip it upside down.) Serve warm or cold.
