How to make Grandma’s Oatmeal Cake
Step 1: Stir the oatmeal in boiling water until no lumps remain. Place in the fridge to cool. Or feel free to use leftover oatmeal at room temperature.
Step 2: Beat the sugars, oleo, and eggs until combine. Add in the flour, cinnamon, soda, and salt. Beat well.
Step 3: Take the cooled oatmeal out of the fridge and mix well with the sugar mixture.
Step 4: In a greased 9 x 13-inch cake pan, transfer the batter, then place inside a preheated 350 degrees oven. Bake for about 40 to 50 minutes.
To make the frosting:
Step 1: Combine the butter, sugar, and milk in a small saucepan. Bring this to a boil.
Step 2: Once heated through, remove from the heat and immediately stir in the vanilla, coconut, and pecans.
Step 3: Spread the frosting on a still-warm cake.
