The World's Best Chocolate Oatmeal Cake image

This world's best chocolate oatmeal cake recipe is from my coworker's grandma. Made with chocolate chips, cocoa, and oatmeal, topped with fudge frosting.

Provided by Pinch of Yum, recipe from Mimi's Grandma

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h

Yield 20

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup butter, melted
2 eggs, lightly beaten with fork
1 3/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup quick cooking oats*
1 3/4 cups boiling water
1 12 oz bag chocolate chips, divided (go for the Ghirardelli*)
6 tablespoons butter
6 tablespoons milk
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2-3/4 cup chocolate chips (Ghirardelli again, please)
1/2-3/4 cup mini marshmallows*

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350. With an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugars. Add the eggs and mix well.
  • Add flour, soda, salt and cocoa and mix until just incorporated. The batter will be very thick.
  • Add water to oatmeal and let stand for a few minutes. Once oats are soft, add oats/water mixture to the batter and mix well. Stir in half of the bag of chocolate chips (6 ounces).
  • Pour into a greased or buttered rectangular 9×13 cake pan. Sprinkle the top of the cake with the rest of the bag of chocolate chips (6 ounces).
  • Bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes or until the surface springs back lightly when touched and your house smells amazing. Do not overbake. Let cool completely.
  • For the frosting, melt the butter, sugar, and milk in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Bring to a boil and boil for 30 seconds.
  • Reduce heat to low and add chocolate chips and marshmallows. Stir or whisk until frosting is smooth. Pour immediately over the cooled cake. The frosting crystallizes almost immediately as it cools so it's important to get it on the cake while it's still piping hot. Allow the frosted cake to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Or... not.

SIMPLE CHOCOLATE OATMEAL CAKE



Simple Chocolate Oatmeal Cake image

Posted for ZWT6 German Region. This simple cake, made with oatmeal, chocolate chips, and coconut, is great for lunchboxes or a family dinner. It's very similar to German Chocolate Cake, but with more chocolate! And the cake is very easy to make because you don't have to cream butter and sugar together, and the topping is simply stirred together and spooned on the cake. *** Warning *** after placing topping on the cake it is extremely important that you watch this cake 100% of the time or it will burn/scorch quickly. It is a bit more labor intensive but turns out great with a watchful eye.

Time 50m

Yield 1 cake, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 cup quick-cooking oatmeal
1/2 cup butter, cut into pieces
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups boiling water
1/4 cup cocoa
3/4 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 3/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 cup flaked coconut
1/4 cup plus 1 tbsp. heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup semisweet chocolate, chip

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F Grease a 9x13" pan and set aside. In a large bowl, combine oatmeal with 1/2 cup butter and 1 cup chocolate chips. Pour boiling water over all, and let stand for 5 minutes. Then add the cocoa and mix well with a wire whisk so the chocolate and butter melt. Add 3/4 cup sugar and 1 cup brown sugar and whisk to combine. Set aside to cool for 10 minutes.
  • Add eggs and 2 teaspoons vanilla and beat until combined. Then add flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix with a wire whisk until well blended. Immediately pour batter into prepared pan.
  • Bake at 350F for 25-35 minutes until cake pulls away from sides of pan and springs back when lightly touched in center.
  • Prepare topping while cake is baking. Combine 1/3 cup melted butter, walnuts, 1/4 cup sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, coconut, cream, and 1 teaspoons vanilla in a medium bowl; mix well. When cake tests done, remove from oven and set on wire rack.
  • Turn oven to broil. Drop topping mixture by small spoonfuls onto cake; spread very gently to cover. Place under broiler, 4" from heat source, and broil for 2-5 minutes until topping is bubbly and light golden brown. Watch this every single second, turning the cake from front to back so the frosting cooks evenly. It can burn in a couple of seconds, so keep watching! When the frosting is bubbling furiously all over the cake and is beginning to brown in spots, remove cake from oven and sprinkle with 1 cup chocolate chips. Let stand for 10 minutes, then carefully swirl the chocolate chips into the frosting with the tip of a knife.
  • Cool and cut into squares. Serve warm or cool.

  • Use your favorite frosting: This recipe is a great base for any type of frosting. Try chocolate ganache, cream cheese frosting, or whipped cream.
