Nutty and moist, this oatmeal cake is a wonderful recipe full of delicious nostalgia. It's so good, forget a plate. You'll find yourself eating it from the pan. The texture is almost like an ooey gooey cake but so much better. It's rich, sweet, and full of spices. The caramelized topping is almost like a German chocolate...

This cake is sooo good. I can remember always having this cake on hand as far back as I can remember. It has a unique story about how it became as delicious as it is now. All because of a mistake my brother made when my mother ask him to make the cake for her one day while she was working, but I'll save that for the Dessert...
