How to Make Oatmeal cake Taste like German Chocolate
- 1To make sure your cake tastes like German chocolate, make sure your measurements are accurate.
- 2Mix sugars and shortening, add the eggs and vanilla and beat. A electric mixer works great for the whole cake.
- 3Sift together the dry ingredients, add to the sugar mixture alternately with the oatmeal that was set aside. Mix well until blended pour batter into a 9 x 13 greased pan and bake at 350° for about 40 to 50 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. cool the cake
- 4While the cake is cooling, makes this topping:
1 stick of butter 1/2 dark brown sugar
1/2 cup of evaporated milk 1 cupof chopped pecans
1 cup of shredded coconut 1 cup of oatmeal
(old fashion) - 5Mix in a pan on top of stove melting the butter and adding the other ingredients. Mix well and make sure it is very warm spread on the cake and put under low boiler until topping is bubbly and coconut is toasted.
