Recipe Summary Sara Jane's Oatmeal Cake

This is the BEST CAKE I have ever eaten! A moist cake made with oats, and lightly spiced with nutmeg is topped with a broiled coconut icing. Not too sweet, not too dry, just amazing.

Ingredients | Oatmeal Cake Recipe Uk

1 cup rolled oats

1 ¼ cups boiling water

1 cup white sugar

1 cup packed brown sugar

½ cup shortening

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

2 eggs

6 tablespoons melted butter

½ cup packed brown sugar

2 tablespoons heavy cream

⅔ cup flaked coconut

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

In a small bowl, stir oats into boiling water. Set aside to soak for 20 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan.

In a medium bowl, cream together the white sugar, 1 cup brown sugar and shortening until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Sift in the flour, baking soda, salt and nutmeg; stir just until moistened. Mix in the soaked oats. Pour into the prepared pan, and spread evenly.

Bake for 35 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven, until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean. Turn the oven to the broil setting and let it heat up.

In a small bowl, stir together the melted butter, 1/2 cup brown sugar, heavy cream, coconut and vanilla. Spread over the top of the cake. Broil for a few minutes, just until the coconut is lightly browned.
