i accidently overbaked these because i left my oven at 400 but knew i had to get them out as soon as i smelled the flavor. i made exactly 22 cupcakes with these (pour water over the 2 empty slots) and even though i overbaked them, they were fantastically moist. i will be making again! this time i'll remember to bake them at 350 for 25-30 mins

I have used this recipe for years...don't like the topping though but it's great plain. I like to reduce the sugar to 3/4 c. each and add a banana on occasion.

In my continuing search for an oatmeal cake "better than grandma made" I found this one. Rather than messing with broiling the topping, just combine the topping ingredients and spoon it randomly on top of the uncooked cake batter. Bake at 325 for 40-50 minutes. Delicious and no chance of broiling accidents and topping cleanup messes.

Wow, this turned out good. It took a lot longer to bake than the recipe said (mine took about 50 minutes), but maybe that was because I didn't do the glaze on top with the broiler. I also forgot to add the cinnamon, and maybe that would've added a bit more zing to the flavor, but I still thought the recipe was great. Just what I needed, having very little ingredients in the house as I did.

I halved the recipe and followed the directions exactly, and I must say this is absolutely delicious! So moist! It is very sweet, and exactly the kind of cake I was looking for. I'm a chocoholic, and my husband needs a break from all the chocolate once in a while, so this will be a part of my permanent rotation.

I've tried dozens of oatmeal cake and bar recipes, trying to duplicate the one I loved as a kid. I'm done, this is it! I have printed a copy of the recipe to keep in my purse because so many people ask for it.

At first I thought the recipe was too sweet, but the next day I had another slice and grew to love it so much! Very tasty, I will use this again.

Great cake! A little too sweet for my family, and it tasted quite...boring. But I'm sure it will go well with some icecream or coffee. The sad thing was I accidentally baked the cake at 400F for 10 minutes that the top crust got burnt. I had to cut it out. Also, I havent tried the topping yet. I will definitely save this recipe tho. Thank you!

Yummy.... especially the next day! Excellent morning snack with coffee. My kids had some after dinner with ice cream. Only needed to bake for 30 minutes, so watch your time. Only 2 minutes under the broiler. Thanks for the yummy recipe. This will be a favorite.

Less than 48 hours after making this cake, it is almost gone. And there are only 2 of us. Moist, full of flavor; great with dulce de leche ice cream or all by itself. Careful with the broiler - in less than 2 minutes the coconut was beginning to burn, not toast.

My mother has had this recipe for over 30 years, and it is the absolute favorite of my entire family! My husband has even learned how to make it, and does so for me every year on my birthday. Definately worth trying!! Just be sure to watch the topping closely so it doesn't burn.
