This recipe will warm you up. It’s for oatmeal cake.
My Facebook friend, Barbara Lawson, had this cake recipe on Facebook saying, “Since I’ve had so many requests for my oatmeal cake recipe, here it is.”
I sent Barbara a message asking if I could put her in my column this week and she said sure. Thank you so much Barbara for this wonderful recipe.
Please send your favorite recipes in and I will put you in the kitchen with Sharon. Send them, along with a story behind the recipe is there is one, to [email protected] or call me at 937-393-3456. Have a great week!
