Classic Old-Fashioned Oatmeal Cake

Old-Fashioned Oatmeal Cake

This Old-Fashioned Oatmeal Cake is a timeless dessert, often called “Lazy Daisy Cake.” It’s known for its moist, dense crumb—achieved by soaking the oats in boiling water before mixing—and its irresistible caramelized coconut topping. The contrast between the warm, spiced cinnamon cake and the bubbly, golden “frosting” makes it perfect for potlucks or cozy Sunday dinners.
