Description
A moist and flavorful oatmeal cake studded with blueberries, topped with a tangy cream cheese frosting.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 cup fresh blueberries
- For the Frosting:
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, rolled oats, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Gently fold in the fresh blueberries.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cake cools, prepare the frosting. In a large bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating until the frosting is light and fluffy.
- Once the cake is completely cool, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the top.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, you can use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar in the cake batter.
- If you don’t have fresh blueberries, you can use frozen blueberries. Toss them with a tablespoon of flour before adding to the batter to prevent them from sinking.
- Ensure your cream cheese and butter are at room temperature for the smoothest frosting.
