Oatmeal Cake

-Kara


2 cups Oatmeal
2-½ cups hot water (boiling)

put in bowl set aside

2 cubes of butter
4 eggs
2 cups Brown sugar
2 cups white sugar

Blend ingredients together set aside

3 cups wheat flour or white (I prefer wheat)
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp cinnamon

Mix ingredients all together

Add 2 tsp of vanilla

Bake at 350 for 45 minutes in a 9 by 13 and 8 by 8 pan. If using one larger pan bake for 1 hour.

**Two variations are to use oatmeal that is already cooked left in the pot after breakfast and use half the sugars.


(Kara served this without the frosting and it was great)

Frosting (oatmeal cake)

10 TBSP butter
8 TBSP evaporated milk
1cup brown sugar

Boil for a little while and frost cake when cooled.
