Oatmeal Cake This Way

I have a tendency to change recipes, and it doesn't always turn out great. Sometimes it does. I've had a long term goal to try to write down what I do so I can remember what does turn out well.

Today was the second time I made this oatmeal cake. I think the first time I made it I was looking for recipes that didn't use white flour because I only had a little in the house and needed it for pizza. Priorities.

The first time we added nuts to the topping, this time I did not.

Visit https://www.tasteandtellblog.com/oatmeal-cake/ for the original recipe.

 

Modifications I used:

1/2 c. coconut sugar instead of 1 cup brown sugar in the cake

1/2 c. white sugar reduced from 1 cup white sugar

whole wheat pastry flour instead of white flour

added a teaspoon of vanilla to the cake part of the recipe

1 cup coconut: I used sweetened coconut because that's what Walmart substitutions gave me, but normally I would use unsweetened from Azure Standard where I also got the pastry flour and oatmeal.

It did NOT need the full 35 minutes to bake.
