Ingredients
Instructions
- Pour boiling water over the oatmeal and mix well. Let stand until cool.
- Cream the butter and sugars together. Add vanilla and eggs one at a time, stirring well after each addition.
- Gradually add salt, baking soda, cinnamon, and flour to the mixture. Then add the oatmeal.
- Pour the batter into a large 9 x 13 x 2-inch pan.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using brown sugar instead of all white sugar. If you don't have cake flour, you can make a substitute by mixing all-purpose flour with cornstarch. Ensure the oatmeal is fully cooled before adding to the batter to prevent cooking the eggs. Adding chopped nuts or raisins can enhance the texture and flavor of the cake.
Serving Suggestions
This delicious oatmeal cake is perfect on its own, but you can elevate it by serving it with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It pairs beautifully with Cream Cheese And Pecan Frosting for added sweetness. Consider enjoying it with a side of fresh fruit for a refreshing contrast.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover oatmeal cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. For longer storage, refrigerate it, where it can last up to a week. To reheat, warm individual slices in the microwave for about 20 seconds for a comforting treat.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, this oatmeal cake freezes well. Wrap individual slices tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, then place them in a freezer-safe container. It can be stored in the freezer for up to three months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
