How to Make Oatmeal Stout Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine rolled oats and stout beer. Let soak for at least 30 minutes.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract and orange zest until well combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  6. Drain the soaked oats, reserving the stout liquid.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the reserved stout liquid, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  8. Stir in the drained oats.
  9. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before removing the sides.
  11. While the cake cools, prepare the topping: In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, nuts, and melted butter.
  12. Once the cake is completely cool, spread the topping evenly over the top.
  13. Broil for 1-2 minutes, watching carefully, until the topping is bubbly and lightly browned. Be cautious as sugar burns quickly.
