Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.75 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the rolled oats and milk. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to soften the oats.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the melted butter and brown sugar until well combined. Add the vanilla extract and eggs, one at a time, whisking until smooth.
Stir the soaked oat mixture into the wet ingredients and mix well.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth 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.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the vanilla oat cake plain, or dust it with powdered sugar for extra sweetness. Enjoy!
