Oatmeal Cake With Coconut Pecan Frosting

By: Blair Lonergan from The Seasoned Mom
Oatmeal Cake With Coconut Pecan Frosting

"This old-fashioned oatmeal cake is tender and fluffy, warmly spiced, and finished with a broiled coconut pecan frosting. Best of all, the easy dessert comes together in just minutes with a bowl, a whisk, and a handful of affordable ingredients. No electric mixer required! Oatmeal cake doesn’t actually taste like oatmeal. In fact, you wouldn’t even know that there’s oatmeal in the batter! We make this oatmeal cake recipe with quick oats, which soak in hot water and eventually blend right into the batter with the flour and other ingredients. Oatmeal cake includes cozy notes of brown sugar and warm spices like cinnamon and nutmeg, so it’s basically another version of a spice cake. It has a moist, tender crumb, and traditionally features a broiled topping made with butter, brown sugar, coconut, and pecans. The combination of ingredients tastes a lot like a pecan pie — in cake form (the best of both worlds?!)."
