Oatmeal cake - another breakfast alternative

Do you like oatmeal? I do, it is very healthy! I like eating oatmeal with dried fruits and milk... Yummmm!
I have made oatmeal cookies earlier, click here for the recipe. It is another way to use oatmeal :)





Last Saturday I tasted the first oatmeal cake, it is super delicious! Another recipe for breakfast :)

Ingredients
1 1/2cup boiling water
1cup oatmeal

1/2cup white sugar (original recipe uses 1cup)
1cup brown sugar
100g butter (original recipe uses 0.5cup = 115g)

1 1/3cup flour
1tsp baking soda
1tsp cinnamon
2 eggs
1tsp vanilla extract
Optional: 1cup raisins/cranberry/chopped dates/nuts

Instructions
1. Pour boiled water to a bowl of oatmeal, set aside and let it cool down

2. Preheat the oven at 180°c
Mix sugar and butter until they blend together
Add in oatmeal, mix well

3. Add in the rest of the ingredients (flour, baking soda, cinnamon, eggs and vanilla extract), you might want to add raisins, dried fruit or nuts. Mix it well

4. Bake the cake for 30mins if the mold not too deep (about 1.5"-2" thick), if the mould is deep then bake for 40mins or until it is golden color

Enjoy!
