Gluten Free Oatmeal Cake Food

GLUTEN-FREE CASHEW OATMEAL CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch round springform pan and layer the bottom with a round of parchment paper.
• Whisk the ground cashews, sugar, oats baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Add the beaten eggs, olive oil, vanilla bean seeds and orange extract, if using, and beat well to combine.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake until golden and fully cooked, 25 to 30 minutes. (Note that the top will look a little bubbly--that's OK!)
• Let cool in the pan 10 minutes, then use a knife to loosen from the sides and remove. Transfer to a rack to cool completely. Serve dusted with confectioner's sugar, if desired.

GLUTEN FREE OATMEAL CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F.
• Grease a 13 x9 inch baking dish.
• Put oatmeal in a bowl and add boiling water. Stir to combine and let stand.
• Combine 1/2 cup butter with sugars in a mixing bowl and beat on high until light and fluffy.
• Add eggs, oatmeal, gluten free flours, xanthan gum, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and vanilla and beat on low, just until thoroughly blended.
• Pour cake batter in prepared baking dish.
• Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean.
• While the cake is baking, combine topping mixture in a bowl.
• As soon as the cake comes out of the oven, spread the topping mixture evenly over the top of the hot cake.
• Broil the cake, about 6-inches from the broiler, until the frosting is bubbling and golden brown- about 5 minutes. Watch this step carefully- the topping will burn if left under the broiler too long!
• Cool before serving -- or eat it warm like we like it!
