OATMEAL CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°. Grease a 9x13 pan and set it aside.
• In a medium bowl add the oats and boiling water. Let stand while the rest of the batter is prepared.
• In a large bowl beat the butter and both sugars on medium high until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and mix until combined.
• In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg together. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and mix until combined. Add the vanilla and soaked oats. Mix until combined.

OAT FLOUR CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350° Fahrenheit. Grease 2 8" cake pans, then line with cut out circles of parchment paper, or grease one 9x13" pan. Set aside.
• In large bowl, stir together dry ingredients: oat flour, granulated sweetener of choice, baking powder and sea salt.
• In small bowl or liquid measuring cup, measure liquid ingredients: yogurt, water and fat of choice.
• Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients. Use a handheld mixer to stir together completely without over-mixing.
• Transfer batter to prepared cake pan(s). (If making the soaked/sourdough version, see the secipe Notes below at this step.)
• Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes if baking 2 smaller cakes or 30 minutes if one larger cake. Test with toothpick inserted into the center to check for doneness. Cake will be golden all over, springy to the touch and toothpick inserted will come out clean or with a couple of dry crumbs adhering.
• Cool completely on rack before proceeding. If creating a layer cake, thump cake pans upside down gently to remove cakes, the first one onto your serving plate, the second onto your cooling rack. I find these cakes to be a little fragile. If one happens to break while unmolding, it will not show or matter once it's frosted, so just gently push together the broken spot and proceed. If creating a sheet cake, you can just frost it in the pan, and serve from there.
• Frost first cake. Top with second. Frost the top and sides of entire cake. Decorate as desired. You can serve it right away, but ideally it's best to refrigerate for a few hours, and then serve. For Chocolate Whipped Cream recipe that's shown in photos, see recipe Notes below.
