Yield 1 cake

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 1/4 cups water
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon caraway seed
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup unsalted butter
2 eggs
3/4 cup chopped hazelnuts
1/8 cup hazelnuts, whole (garnish)
1/8 cup raspberries, whole (garnish)
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 pinch ground cinnamon
1 egg
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 1/4 cups whole milk
1 pinch salt
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  • While it's warming up, grease a 9-inch cake pan with butter. Line the pan with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Now boil the water and pour it over the oats. Let sit while you mix the flour together with the cardamom, caraway seeds, baking powder and salt.
  • In yet another bowl, combine the sugars and the melted butter. Add the eggs one at a time and beat until well incorporated, then gradually add the flour and spice mix.
  • Finally, stir in the oats and the chopped hazelnuts.
  • Transfer the batter the the pan and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until a skewer comes out clean. Let cool then remove from parchment.
  • While the cake is baking, make the vanilla sauce.
  • In a heavy saucepan, combine the brown sugar, flour and cinnamon with the egg, melted butter, whole milk and salt.
  • Heat over a medium flame, whisking constantly. Don't let it boil because it will get grainy.
  • When the sauce has thickened (10 to 12 minutes later), add the vanilla extract.
  • Spread the vanilla sauce over the top of the cooled cake, then top with the raspberries and whole hazelnuts.
