Big Granny's Old Fashioned Oatmeal Cake (Gluten-Free)

Big Granny's Old Fashioned Oatmeal Cake (Gluten-Free)--

Finding my Big Granny's recipe for her Oatmeal Cake yesterday was like finding the Holy Grail! I have been searching for this yummy recipe for years, and was so happy to modify to make it (fabulously) gluten-free. We even took a page from my Big Granny's book.... we iced it and ate it warm!

Great memories! Hope you enjoy this as much as we do.
