My Best Oatmeal Cake is a super-moist bundt cake infused with cinnamon and sprinkled lightly with powdered sugar. “It was one of my mother’s greatest recipes; I started making it when I was about 12,” says Phyllis.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup quick-cooking oats
3/4 cup boiling water
1/4 cup shortening
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
2/3 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
confectioners' sugar, optional
Directions:
1. Place oats in a small bowl; add boiling water. Let stand for 20 minutes.
2. In a small bowl, cream shortening and sugars. Add oat mixture and egg; mix well. Combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt; add to creamed mixture and beat until combined.
3. Pour into an 8-in. fluted tube pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 22-27 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 15 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with confectioners' sugar if desired. Yield: 6 servings.
