My review of the oatmeal cake.I used SF applesauce & otherwise followed the directions.The cake was more dense & used a bit more cinnamon than I care for.I'd cut that to a scant 1/2 Tsp.I think one cup total of sugar....half each brown & white would be enough.
The applesauce kept it from drying out & the cake stayed moist till DH ate the last bite. |
Gosh, I had forgotten all about this recipe. I didn't have applesauce so I added two cups of apple chunks and a couple of tablespoons of butter to the boiling water and it is now my dh's favorite cake recipe.

Glad it worked for you. I use applesauce ,but DD usually uses plain canned pumpkin.
