Soft and delicious cake with oat flour and cream. A recent discovery for me has been oat flour and oat flakes. I use oat flakes to make cookies and the classic porridge for my morning breakfast. While with oat flour, I like to make bread and rolls and also add it to dessert preparations. The recipe I want to tell you about today is a soft cake with cream that I made by adding both the classic all-purpose flour and oat flour to the mixture, giving it a delicious rustic flavor. Oat flour is a great source of carbohydrates, fiber, protein, and fats, and is also rich in vitamins, minerals, and lecithins. Thanks to its nutritional properties, oat flour provides several health and wellness benefits to our body, including: lowering LDL cholesterol levels, intestinal regularity thanks to fibers, reducing blood sugar due to soluble fiber, aiding in weight loss, tissue regeneration due to a high amount of protein. This oat cake is perfect for breakfast, but also for a snack and any time of the day. Great on its own, but also good to fill as you like, with cream, jam, or Nutella. I didn’t add butter or oil to the batter, just some fresh whipping cream I had in the fridge, which made it particularly soft and fluffy. Have I convinced you to try it yet? Let’s hurry into the kitchen and prepare a soft and delicious Cake with cream and oat flour together
