Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cake

 

Last week when Miss E and I had our tea party we had Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cake.  This is one of our favorite cake recipes so I thought I'd share the recipe with you all.  It also works very well to use this cake in a chocolate trifle, layering crumbled cake, chocolate pudding, cool whip and chocolate chips twice in a trifle bowl. 

 

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cake

 

1 3/4 c. boiling water

1 c. uncooked oatmeal

2 c. brown sugar

1/2 c. butter

2 large eggs

1 3/4 c. flour

1 t. soda

1/2 t. salt

2 T. cocoa

1 pkg. chocolate chips

 

Pour boiling water over oatmeal and butter.  Let stand 10 minutes.  Add sugar and eggs and mix well.  Add dry ingredients to mixture, using half of chocolate chips.  Spread in greased 9x13 pan.  Sprinkle with remaining chocolate chips.  Bake at 350 for 30-35 minutes.
