Tips:

  • Use old-fashioned oats. Steel-cut oats will not work in this recipe.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will result in a tough cake.
  • Be careful not to overcook the cake. A toothpick inserted into the center of the cake should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the cake cool completely before adding the crunchy topping. This will help to prevent the topping from becoming soggy.
  • Serve the cake warm or at room temperature. This will allow the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

Oatmeal cake with crunchy topping is a simple but delicious cake that is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its moist texture, sweet flavor, and crunchy topping, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
