Groundhog Day Cake Recipe

Groundhog Day Cake

From karlyn255 14 years ago

This is a unique cake loaded with oats. A nice change of pace. The Source: Scott Cunningham, Wicca in the Kitchen Used for: Imbolc

Preheat oven to 350º F.
Heat the water in a pan until boiling,
then add the oats and stir.
Cover, remove from heat, and let stand for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, melt the chips in a double boiler or carefully in a regular pan,
until evenly melted. Set aside to cool. In a small bowl, sift together the flour,
soda, and salt and make sure it's evenly mixed.
In a large bowl, cream the butter and both sugars.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then blend in the oats and the chocolate.
Finally, add the flour mix. When it's all evenly mixed together, pour it into a greased and floured 13 x 9 x 1 1/2-inch pan.
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes.
Remove from the oven and let stand for 5 to 10 minutes,
then turn out of the pan onto a flat surface.
Do not ice until completely cool!
Royal Icing works well if you don't want to use a store-bought icing; try dusting with cocoa for a picturesque end product.
Yield: 1 13 x 9 cake
