I've seen a lot of good looking oatmeal cakes here but none exactly like this really old-fashioned one. I think the spices in the cake and the frosting ingredients make it extra good. Ingredients:
cake |
1/2 c. butter, softened |
1/3 c. white sugar |
1/3 c. brown sugar |

2 eggs, beaten |
1 c. sifted all-purpose flour |

1/2 t. nutmeg |
1/2 c. milk |
1 c. rolled oats (quick or old-fashioned, uncooked) |
frosting |
1/4 c. butter, softened |
1/2 c. brown sugar |
3 t. half and half |
1/3 c. chopped nuts (walnuts are ok but can use anything) |
1/2 c. flaked or shredded coconut |
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 350
2. Beat butter until creamy;
3. Add sugars gradually and beat til fluffy;
4. Add vanilla and eggs; mix well
5. Sift together dry ingredients;
6. Add to creamed mixture alternately with milk;
7. Stir in rolled oats.
8. Pour into a floured well-greased 9 inch square pan.
9. Bake in preheated oven 30 to 35 minutes.
