Oatmeal Cake
Oatmeal cake is a cozy, old-fashioned classic that’s made by mixing oatmeal into cake batter. Because the oats are soaked in boiling water before they’re incorporated, they have the opportunity to soften and hydrate. The result is a cake that’s moist, tender, and just the right amount of toothsome. The light, fluffy cake is topped with a layer of pecans, coconut, and more oats that gets broiled to create a crunchy, toasty cap. Enjoy a slice of this not-too-sweet oatmeal cake any time of day: for breakfast, as an afternoon snack, or as a simple dessert.
