If you’re looking for a delicious and simple cake that tastes like a cookie made from oatmeal and almost frosts themselves, this one is for you. This antique cake called a “Lazy Day Oatmeal Cake” makes it simple by cooking the frosting on top of the cake. A soft coconut, brown sugar, butter, and pour nut topping on top just before you remove the cake from the oven and then quickly broiled until it is melty, moist, crunchy, and golden, that’s it, you frosted your cake. If this is what being a lazy baker means, then I’m all for it.
This cake is a favorite family, and for many years I made it. I have taken this cake to work, meetings, and family events. Most Lazy oatmeal cake recipes have your fundamental vanilla cake in the center, but I wanted to change the oatmeal. Moist rolling oats contribute to the tender crumb nutty taste and chewy feel.
