My Mother made this cake for Christmas every year and my Oldest brother would hide part of it to take home with him. Since she passed away my Sister and I have kept the tradition going but we now make 2 cakes so my brother now has his very own cake to take home.

- Gradually add the flour to the oatmeal mixture, mixing well as you go.
