Subject: American Oatmeal Cake

I am hoping someone can help me....
My sister used to make a cake she called 'American Oatmeal Cake' She was given the recipe from one of her American pen pals.
She was always going to give me the recipe but passed away before doing so. After her death her husband and daughters were never able to find the recipe.
The cake was a slab cake, very moist with a crumble like topping.
Hoping someone can help with a recipe.

Here is a very good oatmeal cake but with a different topping.

Oatmeal Cake w/ Peanut Butter Fudge Frosting

Step 1
1 C. oatmeal
1 1/2 C. hot water
Step 2
1 C white sugar
1 C brown sugar
1 Stick butter
2 Eggs
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
Step 3
1 1/2 C. Flour
1 tsp. soda
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
FROSTING
1 1/2 sticks butter
2 C brown sugar
4 T. water
2 T vanilla extract (You MUST use 2 TABLESPOONS)
1 1/3 C. Peanut butter

Step 1: pour water over oatmeal and let sit for 5 minutes
Step 2: Cream all ingredients together. Add step one.
Step 3: Add all the step 3 ingredients to Step 2, mixing thoroughly. Pour into a 9 x 13 pan. Bake in a preheated 350 oven for 30-40 minutes depending on oven. Cake is done when knife inserted comes out clean.
Frosting: Bring all ingredients, except peanut butter to a boil for 1-2 minutes stirring. Take off heat and add peanut butter and stir until smooth. Pour hot frosting over hot cake. Frosting will not be real thick, but will set up as the cake cools.

Start the fudge during the last 5 minutes the cake is baking and pour over the cake the second it comes out. If you use a clear glass Pyrex to bake the cake, you can watch the fudge seep down the side.
