Porridge Oat Loaf Cake
The Backyard Chef
My late great-uncle Jack used to make the Scottish/Irish oat loaf, and Pa (my late grandfather) used to make it as a cake, when I was a smol human type person.
I am ridonkulously of British descent, with a substantial heaping of English (entire) and Scotlands (Lowlands and Southern Uplands). My red hair and propensity for skin cancer from a Scots-Irishness, for flair.
I've made the oat loaves but never the cake.
@thedisasterautist That is a very entertaining chef! I absolutely cannot do raisins, no matter what they are soaked in. But I imagine cranberries or currants would do. Thanks for sharing, I'll have to bake this!
Addendum: I'm not the biggest fan of cakeish noms, not since I was in my mid-twenties. That said, now I'm flooded with memories of the tastiness of chomping the stuff with Pa and my cousins when I was smol, and I kinda feel the need to make it, as a salute.
