Sarah's Oatmeal Cake
"I found this recipe in my husband's grandmother's old cookbook. His mom, Sarah, had shared it with her. This cookbook collection dates back to 1964. The photograph accompanying this recipe includes my grandmother in-law's lovely vintage apron , as well as her cookbook."

I’ve made this cake 3 times in just as many weeks. My family loves this recipe. The first time and third time I made it exactly as written. The second time I added 1 teaspoon cardamom, I liked it my family didn’t. I am making it for the fourth time as written as I write this review. I now have the recipe memorized. It will be a staple in our home from now on.

Since my children have left the nest, my babies are my two rat terriers. Buddy and Ellie keep me laughing, even when they are naughty.</p>
