AUNT EDNA'S OATMEAL CAKE



AUNT EDNA'S OATMEAL CAKE image

Categories     Cake     Dessert     Bake

Yield 7-8

Number Of Ingredients 17

CAKE:
1 c quick oats cooked and cooled.
1 c white sugar
1 c brown sugar
1/2 c butter
2 eggs
1 1/2 c flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla
ICING:
1 c brown sugar
1 cube butter
1 tbsp milk
1 tsp vanilla
1 c chopped pecans

Steps:

  • In large mixing bowl, add sugar, brown sugar, and butter. Mix well with hand mixer until soft. Add eggs, flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder and vanilla. Mix well with hand beater. Add oats last. Mix well. Grease and flour cake pan. On middle rack, bake for 45 minutes at 350. Cake it done if inserted toothpick comes out clean. Cake should be spongy to the touch, especially in the middle of the cake. Let cool 1/2 hour then pour icing over cake.

Tips:

  • Use old-fashioned rolled oats. They provide a chewier texture than quick oats or instant oats.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the toothpick comes out with moist batter, the cake needs to bake longer.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:
