Lazy Daisy Cake

The Lazy Daisy cake is thought to have originated when gas stoves became popular, around the turn of the 19th century. The original recipe did not include oatmeal, but in 1950 Quaker Oats created a “new” version with oats for added heartiness and flavor. Moist, aromatically spiced and topped with coconut for texture, it makes an easy, crowd-pleasing treat for parties and picnics.
