Tips:

  • Use a food processor for a smooth batter: Pulses help break down the oats into a fine powder, resulting in a smooth and silky batter.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough helps the flavors meld and results in a more tender cake.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: Overbaking can dry out the cake, so be sure to check it regularly.
  • Make the caramel glaze while the cake cools: This allows the glaze to thicken slightly before pouring it over the cake.
