NESHAMINY CAKE

This recipe may "stir" up some memories from the past. If you were a Neshaminy student (like I was in the 70's) you may remember this dessert served in the school cafeteria.

1 1/2 c. boiling water
1 1/2 c. rolled oats
1 1/2 c. brown sugar
1 1/2 c. white sugar
1 1/4 stick butter
4 eggs, beaten
2 tsp. vanilla
2 3/4 c. flour
1 3/4 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 3/4 tsp. cinnamon

TOPPING:

1/4 c. + 1 1/2 tsp. butter
3 tbsp. dry milk
3 1/2 tbsp. brown sugar
3/4 tsp. vanilla

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

1. Combine boiling water and oats and let stand until cool.

2. In a separate bowl, cream together brown and white sugar, butter.

3. To the creamed ingredients, add 1/3 of the oats and water mix, eggs and vanilla. Beat for 3 minutes.

4. Sift together flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Add to the creamed mixture.

5. Add the remaining oats and water mixture. Beat together for 1 minute.

6. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 to 50 minutes in a greased pan.

OMG, you forgot the most important ingredient for the topping!!! After you cook all the ingredients in the double boiler, stir in about 1 cup of coconut! Then, spread it on the cake! --DMS, Neshaminy '74
