What’s Cooking Wednesday Bonus: Mom’s Oatmeal Cake

Since we fell down on the job yesterday and didn't get a post written, you get a bonus today, an extra recipe. This recipe is one our mom makes (Teri loves it because it's a cake WITHOUT frosting). It's super simple but stays moist for a long time.

OATMEAL CAKE

1 ¾ c. boiling water
1 ¾ c. unsifted flour
1 c. uncooked oatmeal
1 tsp. baking soda
1 c. packed brown sugar ½ tsp. salt
1 c. sugar
1 tbsp. cocoa
½ c. butter
1-12 oz. pkg. chocolate chips
2 xl (or 3 med) eggs
¾ c. chopped nuts

Pour boiling water over oatmeal and let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes. Add sugars and butter, stir until butter melts. Add eggs and mix well. Sift together flour, salt, soda, and cocoa. Add to sugar mixture. Mix well. Add about ½ of the chocolate chips and stir to blend. Pour into a greased 9” x 13” pain. Sprinkle nuts and the rest of the chocolate chips on top of batter. Bake at 350* for 40 minutes.

Do you use regular oats or instant oats?
