LAZY DAY OATMEAL CAKE

This is a great cake for any sweet tooth. It is good served hot too.

Wonderfully moist and delicious. I made two small cakes instead of one large one and froze one for later. It is especially wonderful when warm or re-heated.

This cake is out of this world. Too bad there isn’t a 10 star rating because it deserves it.. I made tis cake 2 weeks ago and have made it 4 time sence then.

This cake is awesome. I made some changes though to some of the ingredients. I used 1/4 cup butter, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup of milk and it was perfect.

This cake is sooo great. When it came time for my moms birthday she only had one request. Oatmeal Cake. We have made this cake alot over the past few years and it is always great. I do double the spices though.

DIRECTIONS:

In a shallow bowl soak oats in boiling water for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile proceed by measuring butter and sugars into beater bowl and beating until light.
