Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 3 cups old-fashioned oats
  • 1 ½ cups raisins
  • Optional: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

Method
 

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, and mix until fully incorporated.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
  5. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
  6. Add Oats and Raisins: Stir in the old-fashioned oats and raisins (and chopped nuts if using) until evenly distributed.
  7. 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.
  8. Cool the Cake: Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
