Making Oatmeal Cake with Broiled Topping

[miele_ge]

well, i had a few tense moments when i had that cake under t

Kept an eagle eye on it and cycled it on and off a couple of times.   Was glad to get it done.  Will go to Bul$hit and beyond (as my partner calls it) to get a metal pan this weekend.

 

During the process, a neighbor knocked at the front door wanting to borrow some ketchup right away.  I let him in and then dashed back to the kitchen and told him he had to wait a bit until I was done with this.

Just Saw A Recipe For Oatmeal Cake

When going through some of my "older" cookbooks. Didn't pay much attention as one's mind was on finding a good red velvet cake recipe.

Oven grills

Hi Kevin, this really looks like a delicious recipe! I'll sure try this one out. One question. Aren't your oven grills turned 180° from their "rigtht" position? In the position you're using them, what keeps the grills from falling off the oven side "rails" when you pull the grills out?

I have a GE oven, and according to the user's manual the grills are positioned "the other way round". The raised back side of the grills keeps them from sliding off the rails when they are hot and I pull them out.

Hi Emilo,

The oven racks in my 1961 Westinghouse stove were designed to have 9 positions - but these are only achieved if you "flip" the racks over. So, the racks can be used on either side, depending on where you want them placed inside the oven.

Best wishes,
Kevin
