Ingredients:

For the Cream Filling:

• 1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream

• 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (adjust to taste)

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For Topping:

• ½ cup sliced almonds (toasted or plain)

• Extra cream for the top layer (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Batter:
In a large bowl, mix the rolled oats, eggs, milk, honey, baking powder, vanilla, and salt. Stir until combined and let sit for 10–15 minutes to allow the oats to soften and absorb the liquid.

2. Bake the Cake Layers:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a square or rectangular baking tray with parchment paper. Spread the batter evenly (about 1/2 inch thick) and bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden and set.

Let the baked oat sheet cool, then carefully cut it into 3 or 4 equal rectangles for layering.

3. Whip the Cream:
In a chilled mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Keep it cold until ready to assemble.

4. Assemble the Cake:
Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a generous layer of whipped cream over the top. Repeat with the remaining layers, finishing with a layer of cream on top.

Sprinkle with sliced almonds for decoration. You can toast the almonds for extra crunch and aroma.

5. Chill & Serve:
Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour to allow it to set. This helps the cream soak slightly into the oats for a softer texture. Slice into squares and serve chilled.

Final Touch:

This Homemade Oat Layer Cake with Cream and Almond Topping is light, satisfying, and full of natural goodness. The oat base gives it a hearty texture, while the cream and almonds elevate it into something elegant.
