You know that we have an insatiable sweet tooth and love to mix up new desserts and desserts as a cure to our cravings. Although most of our cakes start with the common meal, bakery, salt, and some combo of butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla, this lazy oatmeal cake is a bit different. Rolling oats, which have been left to swim in boiling water, add a thick, nutritious element to the flour that makes a perfectly chewy and delicious cake.
The oats make this cake a little denser and add a slight taste that blends well with the other ingredients, so the icing brings it together and makes you want to lick your lips. If you look in your pantry and remember that you haven’t been cooking with oats lately, try this recipe – it’s such a great use for them, and fun to put a bit more nutritious value into your desserts!
