Lemon Oatmeal Cake with Frosting :)
I made this cake for Michelle’s birthday earlier this week and as it was so yummy and moist, figured I would share it with you 🙂 It is similar to my Chocolate Oatmeal Picnic Cake but obviously without the chocolate and has an added bonus of frosting on the top!
CAKE ingredients and instructions:
1. Mix together and let stand of 10 mins:
1 1/4 cups boiling water
1 cup rolled oats
2. In the meantime cream together:
1/3 cup butter
3/4 cup honey
Grated rind of 1 lemon
3. Add following to “creamed” mixture and beat well:
2 eggs
Oat mixture from above
4. Stir in:
1 1/2 cups spelt or whole wheat flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 /2 tsp salt
5. Pour into a 13″ x 9″ pan, bake at 350F for 30-40 mins.
6. Pour juice of 1 lemon over the HOT cake.
7. Allow cake to cool thoroughly before adding frosting.
