1-1/2 cups all-purpose
flour or half each white and wheat flour
Place the dry oatmeal into
a large bowl. Pour in the boiling water. Add the
margarine or butter, stir it a little to melt. You can slice
the margarine into chunks to make it melt faster. Let this
mixture sit for a few minutes while you grease the pan (a big 9"
by 13" rectangular one). Now add the brown sugar and
buttermilk to the mixture. Beat it really well. The
batter should be cool enough now to add the eggs. Beat them in
until things are glossy and smooth. Add the vanilla, salt,
cocoa and baking soda. Mix very well, and finally stir in the
flour. Stir it all up and turn it into a well oiled 9" by
13" pan. Bake at 350° for about 30 minutes.
This is a moist, chewy and fudgey cake. Frost as desired.
Cut into 24 pieces and serve.
