OATMEAL CAKE
Nutty and moist, this oatmeal cake is a wonderful recipe full of delicious nostalgia. It's so good, forget a plate. You'll find yourself eating it from the pan. The texture is almost like an ooey gooey cake but so much better. It's rich, sweet, and full of spices. The caramelized topping is almost like a German chocolate...

OATMEAL CAKE
Steps:
- In a saucepan, place the oats and the water and simmer 15 minutes to soften slightly. Allow to cool to room temperature.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly butter a 8-inch square cake pan.
- In a mixer fitted with a whip attachment, cream the butter until smooth. Add granulated sugar and mix until smooth and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla and mix just until combined. Add the cooked oats and mix just until combined.
- In another bowl, mix the flour, oat bran, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Working in 3 batches, add the dry ingredients to the butter-oat mixture, alternating with the applesauce mixing just until combined after each addition. Pour into the prepared pan. Bake until a tester inserted into the center of the cake comes out dry and almost clean (a few crumbs are fine), 40 to 50 minutes. Let cool completely. Turn cake out onto a square serving platter. Place strips of paper under the cake around all the edges.
- To make the frosting, in a mixing bowl with a whip attachment cream the cream cheese on medium to high speed until light and fluffy. Turn the mixer to low and mix in the powdered sugar and honey. Frost the cake on the sides with a thin layer of frosting then use the remaining to cover the top and swirl it decoratively. Using your hands, press the toasted chopped nuts onto the side of the cake to coat it. Remove the paper strips before serving. Cut into 2-inch square pieces.
- Notes about the recipe: This is a delicious hearty and healthful cake. The texture added by the cooked steel cut oats makes you thing there are nuts inside. I made it to help me use up ends of jars of oat bran in the freezer and steel cut outs in the cereal drawer after the hot cereal breakfast season was over for the year.

Tips:
- Use Rolled Oats: Rolled oats provide a chewy texture and nutty flavor to the cake. Avoid using quick oats or steel-cut oats, as they will not absorb the liquid and create the right consistency.
- Soak the Oats: Soaking the oats in buttermilk or milk before mixing them with the other ingredients helps soften them and ensures that they absorb more liquid, resulting in a moist and tender cake.
- Don't Overmix the Batter: Overmixing the batter can result in a tough and dense cake. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined, being careful not to overwork the batter.
- Use Fresh Baking Powder and Baking Soda: Fresh baking powder and baking soda are essential for a light and fluffy cake. Old or expired raising agents will not provide enough lift, resulting in a flat and dense cake.
- Bake the Cake Until a Toothpick Inserted into the Center Comes Out Clean: This is the best way to ensure that the cake is cooked through. If the toothpick comes out with wet batter or crumbs attached, the cake needs to bake for a few more minutes.
Conclusion:
This oatmeal cake is a delicious and comforting treat that is perfect for breakfast, dessert, or a snack. With its moist and tender crumb, sweet and tangy flavor, and crunchy oat topping, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a simple and satisfying baked good, give this oatmeal cake a try. You won't be disappointed!
