Jewel's Notes:

Researching my recipes I did come across a very old Oatmeal Cake Recipe. This cake has been around many year. People seems to enjoy it and it keeps being reprinted with very little change. It always gets positive reviews. For those of you who requested..here is the recipe. ENJOY !!!

 

Directions

1
CAKE: In a large mixing bowl combine boiling water,oatmeal and butter, mix well and cool slightly.
2
Add eggs, sugar,and vanilla, stir to mix.
3
In a small mixing bowl sift together remaining ingredients then stir into oatmeal mixture.
4
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Pour mixture into a 9x13 cake pan. Bake 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from oven but leave in pan. Turn oven to broil for Topping.
5
TOPPING: Prepare Topping while cake is baking ~~~
In a sauce pan over low heat,stir ingredients until combined, sugar is melted and stir well.(set aside) When cake is done...Spread TOPPING over warm cake. Brown under broiler 2-3 minutes.

You are welcome Susan and Stephanie, it's an old recipe. Wish I could cook sweets but you know my situation with my bad diabetic husband. You all will have to cook them for me and tell me how good they are. When we're not snowed in I can share with neighbors, family and friends. Nothing is moving and I live in the city.

Thanks Laura, I can remember having it years ago. I'm glad you enjoy it. I plan to make it when the snow clears out and I can share it with my neighbors. My husband can't have any.

My momma made this cake when I was growing up! It was the cake I always asked for for my birthday. My kids were as crazy about it growing up it as I was and my new hubby has fallen in love with it now as well! I may have to make one today!

Thanka Sweet Colleen, how are you feeling? I was told I can't take anymore ANSAIDS I didn't take thm anyway because off my stomach. I had a bad CHarlie Horse in my right leg this morning, had to get out of bed. Worked real hard in my yard yesterday, I don't have any common sense with I work outside. My son has hired someone to do yard work here but I have my own way to do things. Wish you were closer so we could visit. Love you.

Hey Shirley, hope you tried the recipe. I have been off the site due to loosing my home to the April 27th Tornado. I'm trying to get some normal activity back in my life. Not used to living in a small apartment with a stove that does't cook well. Maybe this time next year...God give me patience....
