Instructions

Step 1: Prep

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).

  • Line three 8-inch cake pans with parchment and lightly grease.

Step 2: Make the Cake Batter

  • Cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy.

  • Mix in eggs, sour cream, and vanilla extract.

  • Stir in soaked oats.

  • In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.

  • Fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.

  • Divide evenly between pans and bake 25–30 minutes, until a toothpick comes out with moist crumbs.

  • Cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 3: Make the Filling

  • Beat butter until fluffy.

  • Gradually add powdered sugar, then mix in cream, vanilla extract, and vanilla bean paste until smooth and fluffy.

Step 4: Assemble the Cake

  • Layer cake rounds with cream filling in between.

  • Place the final cake layer bottom-side-up for a flat top.

Step 5: Frost & Glaze

  • Apply a light coat of frosting around the cake (semi-naked style).

  • Melt white chocolate chips with heavy cream, stir until smooth, then pour over the top, letting it drip down the sides.

Step 6: Decorate

  • Top with crushed oatmeal cream pies or a dusting of cinnamon sugar.
