Hi neighbor. I would just like to say that it's best to just let the s++t roll. Now I'm actually one of the few straight males in this forum, but I can be your penpal and you can be my penpal. I certainly hope that you will not just avoid saying or asking anything, that doesn't mean we all will agree, but hey, this is America and you are entitled to it. Hell I have caught crap for simply stating that I like my Direct Drive Whirlpool washer. But the beauty is that they can go their way and I can go mine. As much as I enjoy my vintage appliances, they can be hard to find parts for. This would make wearing them out a very undesirable situation. Oh and by the way, I used to think I was crazy too for having this fascination. Then on June 28, 2005, I found this website and all of that changed. Well anyway, hope to hear again from you soon.

Oatmeal Spice Cake!
If using a KitchenAid, Kenwood, or other big mixer, use the flat beater. I have also made this with my KitchenAid portable mixer.
13x9, greased and floured
350F
Combine and let sit for 20 or so minutes:
1 cup Oatmeal(raw), Old Fashioned or quick, but not instant!
1 1/2 cups boiling water. I boil the water in my 4 cup Pyrex measure in the Radarange, and dump the oatmeal into that. Stir, set aside.
Cream together:
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar, packed. I like dark brown sugar for this.
Cream it well. When using a stand mixer, I let it wail on it for a good 5-7 minutes.
Add:
2 "large" eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Also add the cooked, and slightly cooled, oatmeal.
Stir together these drys:
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg, preferably freshly grated. I never measure, just grate until I've had enough
Stir the drys into the wets.
Mix on medium speed (KA 45, about speed 4) for three minutes.
Pour into prepared pan, bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until it looks good and smells better.
Toothpick test works.
There is an optional broiled topping with coconut, but I generally don't bother with it. A sprinkling of powdered sugar is a nice idea, if I feel it needs it.
Keeps nicely until eaten, if covered with foil or plastic wrap. (is usally gone within 2-3 days.)

Oatmeal cake
In 1963, we "hit it rich!"
The DOT bought the property our house was on.
We got enough money to move the old house and put on an addition.
We also got running water and the first electric stove. I digress..(no one is surprised)
The local paper had a recipe column featuring a local cook each week. I was featured my senior year in high school. Another digression...
The winter we built/moved and moved out of the house to be moved etc. Mom cooked lunch every day, for the carpenters. We spent the winter in a neighbors migrant labor cabin and cooked on a wood stove. I would make the desserts every night after chores. I digress, yet again..
The recipe for the Oatmeal Cake was featured in Recipe Corner about the time construction began. We made it once and it was so popular with the crew they asked for it over and over through the winter.
The recipe we used had 1 cup raisins added at the point you pour the boiling water over the oats and the raisins would plump.
The frosting was:
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter
1/4 cup cream
3 egg yolks or 2 whole eggs and 1 TBS flour
Cook over low/medium heat in a heavy saucepan, stirring constantly, (no one had heard of a whisk yet) until mixture thickens and boils. Remove from heat and add
2 cups coconut
1 cup walnuts
1 tsp vanilla
Spread on cake.
We baked it in a 9X13. We were poor and if we were out of raisins, so be it. There were times the frosting was just the cooked part with no (as the industry calls it) particulates. We had chickens and cows, so cream, butter and eggs were always in ample supply.
It was years before any of us good face Oatmeal Cake after that winter.
I made Oatmeal cake one time when the kids were little and Kati, who is 26, still asks for it for her birthday cake.
Oh crap, I just digressed!

I was showing this site to a friend this morning.
I wanted her to know where I have been the past week and where why butt looked so flat!
She said her family made Oatmeal Cake for years. She pulled up the original recipe, with the Broiled icing, cut from the back of a box of oatmeal. It was called Lazy Daizy Cake.

I said!
that mine was just tweaks on the standard recipe. Did not even intend to pass it off as orginal with me, and if anyone thought I tried to do so, I am deeply sorry.
I'm not sure if I'd like it with raisins. I think they'd be an unwelcome distraction. I am one of those weirdies who do not like nuts in brownies, too.

I never meant in any way to intimate you had made an attempt at sycophancy.
I love the recipe and was supporting you in knowing it is a very good cake.
I have seen many incarnations and increments of the recipe you shared under many names.
Oatmeal cake came into my life at a very significant time and it has always held warm memories.
I was doing a consulting with Starbuck, on the pastry line they were going to add.
In 1993, they had determined, from focus group studies and national profiles, people 60 and older saw raisins, nuts and embellishments as symbols of excess/success.
45-60 Less sugar, some evidence of whole grain or healthy and god forbid, no raisins.
25 - 35 Very sweet, no whole grains, no raisns, nuts or predominant flavors like cinnamon. Mostly just sweet.
There are similar age sensitive studies related to scents and what makes people feel secure.
Mr. Bear, I love your tender heart and the way you so perfect nurture us all. If in any pushy way, loving to see my words in print, I was unthoughtful, please forgive me.
My hope is, someone here will make Oatmeal cake and it will become a memory. A memory connenected to Lawerence, the maytagbear.

Oh cupcake! People over 60 see raisins, without their glasses on and think they are flies!
A busy colon is a happy colon.
Three old men in a nursing home.
First one says, "I get up in the morning and I stand there and I try to pee and I just can't."
Second man days, "I know what you mean, I get up in the morning, sit on the pot and I try to popp and nothing happens."
Third man says, "I pee like a race horse and poop like I mule! Then I wake up."

My God--it's Notre Dame de Paris
No wonder why you're all queer--as my Aunt Alice who's gay would say--for Flairs. Why, they look like a godam cathedral. They're gorgeous. I want one. I wouldn't even cook in it. I'd use it as an altar for Mass. Holy Moly! What an appliance.

Bob,
Don't fret. If I'm not mistaken, I think the message of the ad is that the gentleman holding the teddy bear is unable to part with it, so the solution is to cough up only a low low $29/month for a storage space for said plush toy(s). I'm nearly certain that daily visits would be allowed.
Although it's certainly possible, this being a Manhattan storage company, that all $29 will obtain is a space big enough for just one teddy bear.

thanks appnut,those are nice stoves.But now i know what y'all are saying about heat radiating from the glass door. the whole door is glass.Very nice! Don
Glass Doors
If you put yur face next to the oven door of any stove manufactured in 1962, you would feel heat.
It was never my experience, that heat loss through the glass door of the Flair, was signiicantly greater.
All the sins of the world are on display, but they are easy to clean and a sight to behold fully lighted.
