Begin by adding 2 cups of flour, 1 cup of granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt into a bowl.

In another bowl, beat 2 large eggs and add 1 cup of buttermilk (you can make your own buttermilk by adding a couple tablespoons of vinegar to milk).

Add 1/2 cup of melted butter and 1 teaspoon of vanilla to the egg and buttermilk mixture and mix well.

Combine the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and blend everything together until well mixed.

Add 1/2 cup of brown sugar and 1/4 cup of melted butter to the mixture and combine.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Pour half of the cake batter into a prepared baking pan.

Sprinkle a cinnamon sugar mixture over the batter (the mixture is not specified in the transcript).

Add the remaining half of the cake batter on top of the cinnamon sugar mixture.

Sprinkle the remaining brown sugar and melted butter mixture over the top.

For the topping, mix 1/4 cup of brown sugar and 1/4 cup of oatmeal, then sprinkle it on top of the cake.

Place the cake in the oven and let it bake for 30 to 35 minutes at 350°F (175°C).

Once done, drizzle frosting on top (the frosting recipe is not specified in the transcript).
