This cake was good, but a tad too sweet for my tastes. I made the mistake of increasing the icing recipe to accommodate a 12 ounce bag of coconut, which seemed to be too much icing. I’m going to try making it again with a little less sugar in the cake and the icing. It was very pretty and a nice addition to a pot luck luncheon.

I liked this cake (as did my family), but it didn't turn out very cakelike, it had more of a rich brownie consistency than a cake consistency. It was good, but it wasn't what I expected. Maybe I did something wrong?

I has a good consistency and flavor but my family and I found it to be too sweet! I think I will only do half as much icing next time and decrease the sugar a little.

I didn't know what to expect from this, but it was great! My children loved it, too.

This cake is out of this world . Too bad there isn't a 10 star rating because it deserves it .. I made tis cake 2 weeks ago and have made it 4 time sence then . People were hunting me down to get the recipe ( at a funeral no less ), so print out extra copies to take with you because your gonna need'em . HEAVENY , HEAVENLY . This is a man catching cake and a women ego lifting cake . DDO NOT USE INSTANT NOR QUICK COOKING OATES, USE THE OLD FASHION HAVE TO COOK 5 MINUTES KIND.

This cake is sooo great. When it came time for my moms birthday she only had one request. Oatmeal Cake. We have made this cake alot over the past few years and it is always great. I do double the spices though.

I was so glad to find this recipe as I had lost the one given to me as a bridle shower gift along with a cake pan. I like to make this for potlucks and church suppers. Very good.

Wonderfully moist and delicious. I made two small cakes instead of one large one, and froze one for later. It is especially wonderful when warm, or re-heated.
