Janae & Katie have both requested this recipe from me - probably a month ago! I am admittedly a bit slow. Sorry girls! This is one of my favorite cakes. Brad's mom got this recipe in 1962, & I asked her for it many years later. If I remember right, the first time I had this cake was when Jill's youngest son, Jeffrey, was blessed. That was almost 10 years ago! Am I right Judy & Jill? I don't remember having it before then, and this is a cake that I would remember! Don't be fooled into thinking it's "good for you" because it has "oatmeal" in it. It has lots of my favorite ingredient - butter! Thanks for your patience Katie & Janae - here's the recipe -

Oatmeal cake? Are we in heaven?
Ooohh! This looks so yummy. I love baking too.
Ok...looking at the butter/cream in this recipe I am dying!! Oh well, no wonder I love this cake:) Thanks for posting!
This looks so good, and I know my kids would eat it, but I've decided to not bake it and simply believe you that it's good. I'm afraid I would be tempted to make, and eat, it all the time! :)
Yummm. I'm trying this one too. Sunday dessert...
Thank, this is so good. I always though it was maybe a little health, you know because of the oatmeal... what do I know though? Im just one big stresscase! haha!
Oh, and what exactly is a square of butter? Im a little challenged in the cooking department.
Katie - square=stick
I don't know why it's sometimes called a square of butter because butter is obviously rectangular.
thanks for clearing that up. I agree, a stick is a rectangle whereas just a small "square" of butter is just a portion of the rectangle.
