Very moist, and hard to stop eating

I love this cake! I have to be careful about how often I make it because I could eat half of it myself! The only change I make is that I don't add walnuts (I don't like them). This is a very good recipe if you like oatmeal.

Very yummy and moist

I made this cake for my husbands birthday, I was a little nervous as it was the first time in a couple of years that I've made a from scratch cake. It turned out great, not too sweet, and was very easy to make. Just to warn people that are thinking of making this cake, when you pour the batter into the pan it is very thin and runny. I was afraid that it wouldn't turn out, but it sets up beautifully! Thanks for sharing this recipe.

Super moist and tasty! I accidentally over-baked them just a tad, even still I really enjoyed this cake. Next time I might try cutting down the sugar content and substituting butter for applesauce.

I will make this recipe over and over. It is moist, chocolately and delicious! We had it with Almond Fudge ice cream and it was the perfect pair. Plus... so easy to make!

I followed the directions exactly, and the cake is very moist, turned out great. The only suggestion I have is to halve the amount of chocolate! And I'm actually a chocolate fan...but next time I would skip the chocolate chips on top, and leave it with just the "mixed in" chips.

Great tasting cake!! Also very easy to make. Anything with an entire package of chocolate chips is going to be good. Will make this again - it is practically health food since it contains oatmeal, right?

This is so good!!!!! I added more chocolate powder than adviced and used pecans instead of walnuts since that's what I had. I loved this an so did the family. I also liked that it snuck in oatmeal to make it a little healthier than chocolate cake.

My family ate the entire cake in 24 hours. I left out the nuts due to personal preferances. I will definately make this again.

it wasnt eaten only a few pieces but it looked great

This cake was really good...very heavy but my whole family loved it and I thought with the oatmeal you can't go wrong with knowing it's a bit healthy. thank you.

I love this recipe!! I used a whole tablespoon of cocoa and, next time, would bake it 35 minutes instead of 40- but this was wonderful and I will make it often.

I made this tonight, and it was very good. I used slightly less white sugar than called for, and it was perfect for us. I used chocolate/caramel swirl chips, and added walnuts. I was expecting an oatmeal-colored/tan colored cake, but this is really darker than that. It looks chocolate colored, although the chocolate flavor is mild. One note: When I prepared the batter and poured it into the pan, I had to go back to re-read the recipe. I was sure I had done something wrong, as the batter was very thin. I was sure this cake would not turn out, but it baked up wonderfully.

This recipe is a winner (literally)! I entered it in an oatmeal festival and it won 2nd place! Instead of sprinkling the chocolate chips on top, I melted them and poured it on top. Once it cooled in the refridgerator, I spread raspberry jam on top and added fresh raspberries and sliced almonds. Very delicious!!

Yum! Moist and chocolatey! I used a mixer b/c the butter didn't melt all the way. I also used part wholewheat flour and added 1/2 cup of raisins. You can't even taste them.
