Tips:

  • Use fresh oats. Fresh oats will give your cake a better flavor and texture than old oats.
  • Grind the oats into a fine flour. This will help the cake to be more tender and moist.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the cake, making it lighter and more flavorful.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the cake from curdling.
  • Fold in the dry ingredients gently. Overmixing will toughen the cake.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking will dry out the cake.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Grandma Snyder's Oatmeal Cake is a delicious and easy-to-make cake that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist and tender crumb, sweet and flavorful oat flavor, and creamy frosting, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
