How to Make Easy Chocolate Oatmeal Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x8 inch baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup rolled oats and 1 cup boiling water. Stir in 1/4 cup melted butter. Let cool completely.
  3. In a large bowl, beat together 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
  4. Sift together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the cooled oat mixture.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before serving. Enjoy!
