Oatmeal Cake :-)

Here is a wonderful cake that we had recently. Happy cooking! :-)







Oatmeal Cake

Put 1 and 1/4 cups boiling water over 1 cup Quick cooking oats, add 1 stick oleo, let stand 20 minutes.

Add:
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 and 1/3 cups flour
1 t. soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg

Stir all together and bake in large pan 35 minutes at 350*.

If topping is desired, mix while cake is baking.
6 T. oleo (melted)
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/4 cup cream (milk will do)
1 cup nuts
1/2 sugar or brown sugar
1 cup coconut

Cook enough to dissolve, spread on cake and place under broiler until coconut is brown. About 5 minutes.


Note:
This cake is great without frosting as well! I'm not sure if we have ever tried the frosting recipe mentioned above or not, however we do add a Butter-Cream Frosting on occasion (we half the recipe). :-)


Butter-Cream Frosting

1/4 cup butter
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. vanilla
3 cups confectioners sugar (sift if lumpy)
1/4 cup milk

Combine butter, salt vanilla and 1 cup of sugar. Add milk and remaining sugar alternately; mix until creamy. Add more sugar to thicken or milk to thin, if needed for good spreading consistency.


God bless!

Hello!!!!! :-D

Hello!

My uncle, cousin, and dad left a little while ago to take the hay bales up to my other uncles place. They had about 15 hay bales all stacked up on the trailer! It's loaded down! It's neat to watch them cut, fluff and bale the hay! :-)

Our kittens are growing! I'm going to have to start messing with them pretty soon so that they will be nice and tame! :-D

Here's a scripture.........

Ps 119:11 Your word I have treasured in my heart, That I may not sin against You.
