Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

How to Make Spiced Oatmeal Cake with Whipped Cream

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch square baking pan.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats and buttermilk. Let it sit for about 15 minutes to allow the oats to soften.
3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy and well combined.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
5. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Fold in the oat mixture.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
8. While the cake cools, prepare the whipped cream. In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
9. Once the cake is completely cool, spread the whipped cream over the top. Cut into squares and serve.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your butter is at room temperature for easier mixing.
• Don’t overmix the batter; it should be just combined to keep the cake tender.
• Let the cake cool completely before adding the whipped cream to prevent it from melting.

Easy Variations

• Add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans for extra crunch.
• Incorporate dried fruits such as raisins or cranberries for a chewy texture.
• Substitute half the flour with whole wheat flour for a nuttier flavor and added nutrition.

What to Serve With It

• A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent dessert.
• Fresh berries for a refreshing contrast.
• A drizzle of caramel sauce for an indulgent touch.
