Oatmeal Cake
Description
The pastry is simple and quick to prepare. First, separate the egg whites from the yolks and beat the whites until stiff with half the indicated amount of sugar. Mix the yolks with the remaining half of the sugar and boiling water, then beat until thick and foamy. Combine the beaten whites and yolks. Dry the oat flakes in a skillet until golden brown. While continuously beating, add flour and the toasted oat flakes into the egg mixture. Reserve a small amount of flakes for decoration. Transfer the prepared batter into a greased baking pan and bake at 240–250°C. Once baked, remove the cake from the pan, let it cool, cut it into two layers, and fill with cream. Only the top layer needs to be coated with cream. Decorate the cake's surface with jam or leftover cream, and sprinkle with the reserved oat flakes, which can also be mixed with chopped nuts. Serve with tea or coffee.
