A recipe so timeless and so delicious, it’s bound to become an heirloom. This simple cake gets its perfectly moist texture from oats that are soaked in milk and then folded into the batter. A luscious maple frosting completes the treat with cozy sweetness.

  • tip 1
    To ensure best results in this recipe, use quick-cooking oats.
  • tip 2
    To make 2 cups whipped cream, place medium deep bowl and beaters in freezer or refrigerator to chill. Place 1 cup heavy whipping cream and 2 tablespoons powdered sugar in bowl. Beat on low speed until mixture begins to thicken. Add 1/2 teaspoon vanilla; beat on high speed until whipped cream forms soft peaks.
