Wow! What a fabulous, moist, well spiced, simple cake. I didn't change a thing and wouldn't.

A very moist cake! I have made numerous oatmeal cakes but never where I have soaked the oats ahead of time. I think it is the pre-soaked oats that make it so moist. I did cut the sugars by 1/8 to 1/4. There is a lot of sugar in this recipe and I figured a little missing here, and a little missing there would not hurt it, and it didn't. I also cut the nutmeg by about 1/4 teaspoon. I don't like the over powering flavor of nutmeg. This will be one of my regulars!

Yummy, moist cake! I would call it "Spice Cake", because I couldn't even taste the oatmeal.

All i can say is that I was nervous at first because that was my first time baking anything from scratch. But to my surprise and delight it turned out great! Will make again.

My favorite cake. Have been making this cake since childhood (40 yrs)ago.It was my job as an 8 yr old in my grandmothers kitchen to watch the cake under the broiler (back in those days the broiler was where the drawer is under the stove).Moist and delicious!

This cake is sooooo wonderful!! I take it regularly to our Wed. night dinners at church and it is always gone in a flash. I have reduced the butter and sugar by half that is in the topping and it tasted just as good.

This definitely gets five stars without a doubt. I used 1 3/4 cups boiling water and substituted milk for cream because I didn't have any cream. My whole family loved it (although my husband thought it was too sweet) and they all want me to make it at least once a week from now on. Also, I just turned up the oven temp to 450 after the topping was spooned on and left it in there for several minutes. after the coconut mixture/frosting started browning it was perfect. I didn't mess with the broiler. Thanks for the recipe!

This made for a really ugly birthday cake. The cake does not rise at all. It looks more like a browinie. It is a nice moist cake but I was dissappointed in the appearance. It has a good spice flavor but I doubled the cinnamon and cut the nutmeg in half. More like a snack cake. I can't imagine cooking the topping for more than an minute or two. I pulled mine out at 1 1/2 minutes.

Quite Yummy! I forgot to add the salt, but it came out just fine. I made two 9" round cakes using a double recipe iced them both. I put the bottom layer under the broiler for a shorter time.

Based on the comments in the reviews I made the following changes: white sugar in cake reduced from 1 cup to 2/3 cup, nutmeg reduced from 1t to 2/3t, white sugar in frosting reduced from 1/2 cup to 1/4 cup, cream increased from 1/4 cup to 1/4 cup plus 1T. I broiled the cake for 2 minutes and it seemed enough. Cake was excellent!

Oh my goodness...this cake is absolutely wonderful. I doubled the icing, and am glad I did, but other than that I followed the recipe exactly. I have never had oatmeal cake and didn't really know what to expect but I can't say enough about it!!! When baking, make sure to test with a toothpick because my cake did not look done but it was. I am glad that I checked, otherwise it would have been overbaked. I will be making this again to take to a family visit this weekend!!!

This was exellent using nearly double the topping. Charlie suggested adding raisins - Paul suggested soft nuts in topping - the guys wanted even MORE topping. If I use the dark pan, decrease baking time radically

I decided to try this recipe after reading the reviews. I must say that I agree with the excellent reviews. I had not baked for a while, however the recipe was very easy to follow and the result was wonderful. I received many great comments from my guests and I also enjoyed a slice myself. It was unbelievably moist. Thank you for such a geat recipe! I will use it often.

Who would have ever thought that oatmeal could make such a delicious cake! I doubled it for two cakes and used coconut oil instead of butter for the cake part of the recipe but I used butter for the broiled icing. Oh, yeah...by mistake I used more brown sugar and less white sugar in the cake batter but it was still outstanding! Thanks for the recipe!
