Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 3 cups old-fashioned oats
- 1 1/2 cups raisins
- Optional: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
Instructions
Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, and mix until fully incorporated.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Add Oats and Raisins: Stir in the old-fashioned oats and raisins (and chopped nuts if using) until evenly distributed.
Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool the Cake: Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Optional Add-ins: Feel free to add chocolate chips, dried cranberries, or shredded coconut to give the cake extra flavor and texture.
- Gluten-Free: Use a gluten-free flour blend and certified gluten-free oats if needed.
- Vegan Option: Replace the butter with plant-based butter and use a flax egg instead of regular eggs to make the cake vegan.
