How to Make Old Fashioned Oatmeal Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, pour 1 cup boiling water over 1 cup rolled oats. Let stand for 5 minutes to soften.
- Add 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, ½ cup unsalted butter (melted), 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt to the oatmeal mixture. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- **While cake is baking, prepare the topping:** In a medium bowl, combine ½ cup brown sugar, ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans, ¼ cup melted butter, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon.
- Once the cake is out of the oven, immediately sprinkle the topping evenly over the warm cake.
- Place the cake under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning, until the topping is bubbly and slightly browned.
- Let the cake cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
