Whoops, I forgot to add the cream to the cake topping but oh well it was still tasty.
If you wanna pretend like this is baked oatmeal and eat it for breakfast go for it, I won’t tell anyone. This is a tasty oatmeal spice cake with a crumbly, lightly crunchy topping. This cake got rave reviews from my sister in law so I will definitely be making it again
