Jam Oatmeal Grated Cake

Jam Oatmeal Grated Cake

For a very long time I've wanted a jam cake with crumb topping but, as usual, I am very fussy when it comes to recipes! This particular one convinced me, though. I find the combination brilliant - batter and oatmeal, brown sugar, walnuts, jam, butter, everything is so crunchy and so tasty. The cake has a crispy biscuit texture and the jam comes out as a surprise filling. I managed to impress everybody with this cake yesterday.

The brown sugar enhances the taste and makes the batter even crispier, so don't replace it with any other sweetener if you want a special result.

Spread out the batter into an even layer, 5-6mm thick. Use your fingers or the back of a spoon.

Shape a slightly higher border around the sides of the pan. This will prevent the jam from running while baking.
