Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan. Set aside.
-
In a medium heatproof bowl, combine the old-fashioned oats and boiling water. Let the mixture sit for 20-30 minutes to allow the oats to soften and absorb the water.
-
In a separate large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and light brown sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
-
In another bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
-
Stir in the soaked oats and vanilla extract until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Once baked, remove the Oatmeal Cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan on a wire rack.
-
Serve the Oatmeal Cake warm or at room temperature, either plain or with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent treat.
