This was a nice healthier alternative to your traditional cake. Others sensed the presence of "something" which happened to be the oatmeal. My kids at the chocolate chips on top and left the rest.

Delicious. I used pecans since I don't like walnuts and threw in about a cup of coconut just because. It was wonderful-couldn't stop eating it!

Meh...the only thing I didn't add was the cocoa powder (didn't have any) and walnuts (don't like them). Moist, yes...but the flavor...it felt like something was missing...

Definitely not the most eye-catching dessert, but the taste more than makes up for the less-than-appealing appearance. I made this into a layer cake, covering it with a peanut butter frosting, and it was to die for!

Wow, this is great! We all loved it. It's a nice snack cake. I did use dark brown sugar, a pinch of cinnamon , pecans instead of walnuts (it's what I had on hand) and 1 tsp. vanilla (just habbit). It also cooked in exactly 20 minutes on a rimmed cookie sheet. Next time I might sub in some whole wheat flour insted of the AP and see what happens.

Quick, easy to make. Very delicious and moist! Made 2 cakes in three days! Big crowd pleaser. Took other reviewer's advice and added equal amounts of cinnamon. First cake I sprinkled chocolate chips on top (didn't use nuts) second cake I chopped them up and mixed in with batter. Both are very good. Thanks for the recipe! :)

This was really easy to make. It was better once it set up the next day.

This was a very moist cake..delicious warm. I had to use extra cocoa powder to make up for the fact that I was short on chocolate chips...next time, I may add a little more sugar since I found the sweetness was pretty mellow. Overall, a good recipe and a unique cake! thanks
