Ingredients

Servings

Oatmeal Cake

  • 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 ¼ cups very hot water
  • 1 ½ cups flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • cup finely chopped pecans or walnuts optional
  • ½ cup butter at room temperature
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla

Vanilla Sauce

  • ½ cup butter
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl combine oats and hot water, stir, let soak while you prepare next steps.
  3. In a medium bowl whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nuts (if including).
  4. In a large bowl cream together the butter, brown sugar, and sugar for 2-3 minutes. Mix in the eggs and vanilla.
  5. Mix in oatmeal, then mix in dry ingredients just until combined.
  6. Spread mixture evenly in prepared pan. Bake for 35 minutes until set and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out with no wet batter. Allow cake to cool for 15-20 minutes, meanwhile prepare the vanilla sauce.
  7. In a thick-bottom medium sauce pan (do not use stainless steel) over medium heat, combine butter, sugar, heavy cream, vanilla, and salt. Stir continuously for about 5 minutes until sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  8. Cut cake into squares, drizzle vanilla sauce over the top, and serve.
