How to Make Whole Wheat Oat Pound Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: eggs, applesauce, honey, milk (or milk alternative), and vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  6. Bake for 50-60 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. Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar (optional) and serve. Enjoy!
