I don't know who Grandma Snyder is, but she has one heck of a oatmeal cake recipe!  A friend sent me this recipe after she made it for her family and got rave reviews.  I have to say, it is ooey gooey delicious!  You can whip it up in a matter or no time at all.  I had everything I needed already in my pantry.  The flavors are a classic combination.  This is a must try!  You can find the recipe all allrecipes.com , I will also insert it below.
