Oatmeal Raisin Cake with Brown Sugar Icing

Hoosier Cake

When I first flipped through the pages of Gooseberry Patch’s Game-Day Fan Fare, a recipe jumped out at me… Hoosier Cake.  Being a Hoosier, I naturally wondered why I had never heard of such a thing.

Oatmeal Raisin CakeUpon polling my fellow Hoosiers, I didn’t find anyone who knew of the cake, so this past Easter, I decided to give it the Hoosier test.

Easter

As I prepared the oatmeal raisin batter from scratch, a familiar aroma came from the bowl that took me back to Grandma and Aunt Suzy’s kitchen. It reminded me a lot of the oatmeal raisin cookies they would make when I was a kid.

Easter

As I boiled the icing, Mom and I chatted on the phone and she told me she hadn’t had Brown Sugar Icing in forever…  and I assured Dad (through Mom) that I would omit the coconut because despite everyone else’s love for the stuff, he has never been able to bring himself to enjoy it.

Hoosier CakeThe verdict?

Hoosier Cake is a HUGE hit with Hoosiers 😉 And the Oatmeal Raisin cake’s biggest fan?
