Today I was thinking about a favorite cake my mom and grandma used to make. It's Grandma Shorty's Oatmeal Cake with this delicious brown sugar frosting!! I decided rather than just daydream about it, I better go ahead and make it. So I pulled out my kitchen aid (which by the way was my Grandma Shorty's) and grabbed all the ingredients! It was simple to make and even more delicious than I remembered. My camera batteries died last night so I couldn't get a picture, but here is the recipe.
CAKE
- Mix 1 cup oatmeal with 1 1/2 cups boiling water. Set aside and let cool.
- Mix together
1 cup sugar 1 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 cup flour 1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt 1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 cup oil 2 eggs - Blend oatmeal mixture into other ingredients. Bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes. Cover with topping when cooled.
TOPPING
- Bring to a boil
1 cup brown sugar
1 cube butter/marg
2 1/2 Tbl. canned milk or cream - Stir in
1 cup coconut flakes
1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
Enjoy!!
