Oatmeal cake with dried fruits and nuts is a warm homemade dessert that combines the tenderness of oatmeal, the sweetness of dried fruits, and the crunch of nuts. Its roots trace back to European cuisine, where oat products are valued for their nutrition and benefits. The hot water-soaked oats give the batter softness, while kefir adds lightness. Two types of oats create a harmonious texture, and the aroma of vanilla and cinnamon makes the cake particularly cozy. It is perfect for breakfast or heartfelt gatherings with a cup of tea. Thanks to its healthy ingredients, this dessert is an excellent alternative to traditional baked goods. The cake stays fresh for a long time, and dried fruits add natural sweetness, minimizing the need for sugar.
