mary's oatmeal cake and coconut frosting
(1 RATING)
My mother-in-law gave me this recipe. She has made it millions of times for us at family reunions, but mostly for my youngest son for his Birthday. He is crazy about this cake. Could sit down and eat the whole thing if we would let him. It is a great cake and not hard at all to make. Very moist.
