My sister-in-law made this yummy cake for us once and I've been craving it ever since. She told me it was a Lyon House recipe, so I googled it and found it on KSL recipes.
Imagine, googy, sticky, sweet, oatmeal, coconut, brown sugar and cinnamon...YUM!
Can you see why I had to find this recipe?
And it's an easy recipe. I can usually tell by looking at a recipe if I'm ever going to bother making it or not. Some recipes sound good but have so many ingredients that I don't have, that it would cost a fortune to make it. This one is only the basics.
And, the next day, my husband took it to work for breakfast :)
Ingredients:
- 1½ cups boiling water
- 1 cup rolled oats
- ½ cup shortening
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 eggs, well beaten
- 1½ cups flour
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
Method:
Pour boiling water over oats and let stand until cool. Cream the shortening with sugar and eggs until fluffy. Add oats and water mixture. Sift flour with other dry ingredients and blend into creamed mixture. Pour into greased and lightly floured 9x13 baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 to 45 minutes or until cake tests done. Immediately spread topping on baked cake.

Yumm this looks so good! I'm trying to cook/bake more with oats, and have been making lots of baked oatmeal, but love the sound of an oatmeal cake!!! Especially with cinnamon! Looks wonderful!
