Ingredients
Cake Batter:
1 1/2 c. quick oats
1 1/4 c. milk (skim is fine)
1/2 c. whole wheat flour
1 1/2 t. baking powder
1/2 t. cinnamon
1/2 t. nutmeg
1 t. vanilla
1/4 c. sugar
2 egg whites
1/2 c. golden raisins (optional)
Filling and Topping:
1 c. oats
1 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. crushed almonds, pecans, or cashews
5 T butter, melted
1/2 t. cinnamon
1 t. cloves
1/2 t. nutmeg
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350. Grease a round 8" pan. Stir oats and milk together, and let rest 2-3 minutes. Add flour, baking powder, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg, and sugar; stir until well-blended. Stir in egg whites, then raisins if desired. Set aside.
Mix the filling ingredients well; the filling should be crumbly and moist. Pour half of the cake batter into the pan and sprinkle with half of the topping; spread on the rest of the batter and top with the rest of the filling mixture. Bake for about 40 minutes, and cool for 10.
