How to Make Pumpkin Oat Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 12-cup fluted tube pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  3. In a large bowl, beat 2 large eggs with 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add 1 cup vegetable oil, 1 cup milk, and 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree. Mix until well combined.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Stir in 1 1/2 cups rolled oats.
  5. Fold in 1 cup raisins and 1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or your favorite).
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 60-75 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. **Brown Butter Glaze:** In a small saucepan, melt 1/2 cup unsalted butter over medium heat. Cook, swirling occasionally, until the butter turns light brown and has a nutty aroma (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in 2 cups powdered sugar and 4-6 tablespoons milk until smooth and pourable. Drizzle over the cooled cake.
