I love to bake, but I really don’t like baking cakes. I don’t have the patience or talent to create a beautiful layered cake. My decorating skills stop at sprinkles. Cake is also not my favorite dessert. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good piece of cake every once in awhile, but it is not my favorite dessert. Cookies will always have my heart. I do love baking…and eating this Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting. There is nothing fancy about it and that is why I love it. I can bake it in a 9×13 pan, slather it with cream cheese frosting, and call it good. It doesn’t need any fancy decorations because it is so good. This cake reminds me of a oatmeal chocolate chip cookie, but in cake form. No wonder it is my favorite:)
I’ve been making this cake for a few years now. The recipe comes from one of my favorite cookbooks, Baked Explorations. Every time I need an easy dessert to share with friends and family, I make this cake. It is always a hit and super easy to make!
And sometimes I just make it because I am in the mood for something sweet and dessert is always a good idea. Plus, the baby really wanted to taste this cake. He started wiggling around as soon as he heard the word cake. 🙂 I try to make this cake for my dad every time he comes to visit. It is one of his favorite desserts. I always add in raisins if I am making the cake for my dad. He is a raisin fanatic. I like them in the cake too, but if you are raisin hater, you can stick to plain old chocolate chips. The cake is good either way! If you are in the mood for dessert, but don’t want to hassle with anything fancy, make this Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting. It is just good old fashioned dessert goodness!
