Oatmeal Cake Recipe/የኦትስ ጣፋጭ ኬክ-Ethiopian food

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking pan.

Combine rolled oats and boiling water in a bowl; let sit for 20 minutes.

In a separate bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in vanilla extract.

In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until just combined.

Fold in the soaked oats, chopped nuts, and raisins until evenly distributed.

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top.

Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

While the cake is baking, prepare the frosting by beating cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.

Add milk to the frosting to achieve a spreadable consistency.

Once the cake has cooled, spread the cream cheese frosting evenly over the top.

Slice and serve the cake, enjoying its moist texture and rich flavors.
