How to Make Simple Chocolate Oatmeal Cake
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, combine 2 cups rolled oats, 1 cup all-purpose flour, ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 ½ teaspoons baking soda, ¾ teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
- Add 1 cup granulated sugar, ½ cup vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Mix well until just combined.
- Stir in 1 cup chocolate chips and ½ cup shredded coconut.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together ½ cup packed light brown sugar, ½ cup milk, ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Pour the chocolate topping evenly over the cake batter.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. **Watch closely during the last 10-15 minutes to prevent burning.**
- Let the cake cool completely before serving. Enjoy!
