  • Grind the oats into a flour. This will help the cake to be more tender and moist.
  • Use buttermilk instead of milk. Buttermilk will help the cake to be more flavorful and tender.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking will dry out the cake.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • Use a caramel sauce that is thick and flavorful. This will help the icing to be rich and decadent.
  • Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze the cake for up to 2 months.
