- 2 cups boiling water
- 1-1/2 cups oatmeal
- 3/4 cup margarine (1-1/2 sticks)
- 2 cups sugar
- 3 medium eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa
- 1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1-1/2 cups flour
Place the dry oatmeal into a large bowl.
Pour in the boiling water. Add the
margarine, stir it a little so the margarine
will melt. You can slice the margarine into
chunks to make it melt faster. Let this
mixture sit for a few minutes while you
grease the pan (a big 9 by 13-inch
rectangular one). Now add the sugar to the
mixture. Beat it really well. The batter
should be cool enough now to add the eggs.
Beat them in until things are glossy and
smooth. Add the vanilla, salt, cocoa and
baking soda. Mix very well, and finally stir
in the flour. Stir it all up and turn it
into a well oiled 9 by 13-inch pan. Bake at
350° for about 35 minutes. This is a very
moist, chewy and fudgy cake. Frost as
desired. Cut into pieces and serve.
