GRANDMA NANCY'S OATMEAL CAKE

My Grandma used to bake this cake, only to have the whole thing disappear. She finally found out my Grandpa was taking it to his shop and hiding it in a drawer to snack on as he worked. It looks complicated, but it isnt, and the flavor is worth it. Every time I eat it I think of my grandparents and smile!

Tips:

Use old-fashioned oats for a heartier texture.
Soak the raisins in hot water for 10 minutes before adding them to the batter. This will plump them up and make them extra juicy.
If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting set properly.

Conclusion:

Grandma Snyder's Oatmeal Cake is a classic recipe that is sure to please everyone. It is a moist and flavorful cake with a tender crumb. The oatmeal adds a hearty texture and the raisins add a touch of sweetness. The cream cheese frosting is the perfect finishing touch. This cake is perfect for any occasion, from a family gathering to a potluck.
