Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats and milk. Let them soak for about 10 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients.
In another bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
In a large bowl, beat the butter and brown sugar together until creamy and light, about 2-3 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla extract, beating continuously until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter-sugar mixture, alternating with the soaked oats and milk. Mix gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, slice the cake and serve. It's perfect on its own or with a light dusting of powdered sugar or a dollop of whipped cream.
