Oat Flour Cake
This soft and moist brown sugar oat flour cake is topped with a tangy Greek yogurt frosting that's spiked with plenty of bright lemon zest.
Ingredients
For the Cake
- 2 ½ cups oat flour (280 grams)
- 1 tablespoon arrowroot flour optional
- ¾ cup light brown sugar packed
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
- 2 eggs
- ¾ cup whole milk
- ½ cup plain yogurt
- ¼ cup coconut oil melted
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
For the Frosting
- 6 tablespoons Greek yogurt
- 1 lemon zested
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
Make the Cake
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Grease a 8X8-inch baking dish with coconut oil and line the bottom with parchment. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the oat flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a medium bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients. Add the wet mix to the dry mix and stir well to combine (batter will be thin).
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and let it rest for 10 minutes, while the oven heats.
- Place the cake in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, until a tester inserted in the middle comes out clean. Remove from the oven, cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes, then turn out on the rack to cool completely.
Make the Frosting
- When the cake is fully cooled, make the frosting: whisk the Greek yogurt and the lemon zest together, then sift in the powdered sugar and whisk to combine. Spread the frosting over the cake. Place the cake in the fridge if you wish to set the icing a bit.
