Print recipe Ingredients
- 1 cup oatmeal
- 1 stick butter (8 tablespoons)
- 1 1/2 cup boiling water
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar ((light or dark, okay))
- 3/4 cups molasses ((light, or full though more intense; blackstrap molasses really too strong)
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/3 cup flour
Directions
| Step 1 | |
| Get out a big bowl. Dump in a cup of oatmeal, a chopped-up stick of butter, and 1 1/2 cups boiling water. | |
| Step 2 | |
| Stir it up a little bit (not too much) and let it sit for around 20 minutes lidded or covered with foil. | |
| Step 3 | |
| Add 1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar and 3/4 cup molasses, and stir it all up. | |
| Step 4 | |
| Add an egg, 1/2 tsp baking soda and 1/2 tsp. salt. Mix well. | |
| Step 5 | |
| Add 1 1/3 cup flour and mix well until batter is fully blended. | |
| Step 6 | |
| Pour batter into a buttered and floured cake pan. I like to use a larger 10" springform pan. Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. | |
