Ingredients
2cupsoat flourabout 250 grams
¾cupgranulated sugarabout 200 grams
2Tablespoonsbaking powder
½teaspoonbaking soda
½teaspoonsalt
¾cupdairy-free plain yogurt
½cupvegan buttermelted
1Tablespoonvanilla extract
Optional
2Tablespoonswater or milk (to loosen the batter if it’s too thick)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Then line or grease an 8-inch cake pan.
In a large bowl, combine oat flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Stir in yogurt, melted vegan butter, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until fully combined and smooth.If the batter feels too thick, add 2–3 tablespoons of milk or water, a little at a time, until it becomes slightly pourable.
Let the batter sit for 30 minutes to allow the oat flour to absorb moisture.
Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25–30 minutes. Depending on your oven and pan, the cake may need a few extra minutes. Start checking at 25 minutes and continue baking only until the center is set.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack.
Then frost with cinnamon buttercream frosting.
Notes
Success Tip Notes
Letting the batter rest is essential to prevent a gritty or dry texture.
Use finely ground oat flour for a smoother crumb.
Measure oat flour accurately to avoid density issues.
Doneness Cues

The center should be set (not wet or shiny).
