Oatmeal Cake
Oatmeal cake is a delicious and wholesome dessert made with oatmeal as one of its key ingredients. It's a moist and flavorful cake that often includes other ingredients like cinnamon, nutmeg, and raisins. Some variations even incorporate coconut or nuts for added texture and taste. It pairs wonderfully with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats (8 ounces)
- 1 cup boiling water (8 fluid ounces)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (4.5 ounces)
- 1 cup granulated sugar (8 ounces)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened (4 ounces)
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup raisins or nuts (4 ounces) (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x9 inch (23x23 cm) baking pan.
- In a bowl, combine the rolled oats and boiling water. Let it sit for 10 minutes to allow the oats to soften.
- In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter-sugar mixture, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in the soaked oats along with any optional raisins or nuts.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, you can serve the oatmeal cake as is, or dust it with powdered sugar and garnish with some additional raisins or nuts if desired.
