CHOCOLATE OATMEAL SNACK CAKE

Chocolate Oatmeal Snack Cake image

I would make this for my daughters as an afterschool treat. It produces a moist, dense, delicious cake. Since it's baked in a 9x9 pan, there's not a whole lot of cake around to tempt me for too long! Make your own frosting or use store-bought. Or simply dust it powdered sugar!
