Chocolate Oatmeal Cake - The Southern Lady Cooks

This Chocolate Oatmeal Cake is to die for!  If you like chocolate, you will love this cake. It’s easy to make and one your family will love. We have loved the Lazy Daisy Oatmeal cake for years and this one is delicious too. Old fashioned recipes are always a winner and there is a reason why they are still around. This cake is perfect to take to a potluck or gathering. You can also make this one in advance.

Chocolate oatmeal cake ingredients needed:

Water

Quick-cooking oats, uncooked

Brown sugar

White sugar

Butter

Eggs

Vanilla extract

All-purpose flour

Salt

100% pure cocoa

Baking soda

Cinnamon

Semi-sweet chocolate chips

Pecan halves (Could use walnuts)

I have looked at few oatmeal cakes and this one is different than most. It is loaded with chocolate chips and they give this cake a wonderful taste. It actually has a little heavier texture a mix between a brownie and a cake.  It’s absolutely delicious. Since it doesn’t have a frosting, it’s not overly sweet which is nice. It’s a perfect cake to make for any occasion. If you haven’t tried this one.. give it a try!
