Moist and creamy cake to end any dinner or buffet meal with a bang! This is a great recipe, easy to make with simple to understand steps, and calls for only pantry staple ingredients. A nostalgic cake that brings back great memories.
I was so excited when I found this recipe. I had to try this immediately. And I can say that this did not disappoint. I grew up with my grandmother and her favourite dessert happened to be oatmeal cake. If she’s still here right now, I know she’ll be proud!

Step 3: pour the batter into a greased 9 x 13-inch cake pan.
Step 4: Place in a 350 degrees oven and bake for about 40 to 50 minutes.
To make the Frosting:
Step 1: Combine the butter, sugar, and milk in a small saucepan. Heat until boiling, then remove from heat and stir in the vanilla, coconut, and pecans.
Step 2: While the cake is still warm, spread the frosting.
