How to Make Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, pour 1 cup of boiling water over 1 cup of rolled oats. Let stand for 10 minutes to soften.
  3. Add 1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted margarine to the hot oatmeal mixture. Stir until melted and combined.
  4. Add 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar and 1 cup packed brown sugar to the mixture. Mix well until sugars are dissolved.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Stir in 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, reserving about 1/2 cup for topping.
  8. Pour batter into the prepared 9x13 inch pan. Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips and 1/2 cup chopped nuts evenly over the top.
  9. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let cool completely before serving. Enjoy!
