Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a loaf pan.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, ragi flour, and baking soda. This ensures the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
  • In a large bowl, beat the eggs until light and frothy. Gradually add the sugar and continue beating until the mixture is pale and thick.
  • Gently fold in the fresh cream (or cream/butter blend) and vanilla extract. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Overmixing can lead to a tough cake.
  • Add the rolled oats and gently fold them into the batter until evenly distributed.

  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread evenly.
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted at a slight angle into the center comes out clean. Inserting the toothpick at an angle prevents the cake from collapsing.
  • Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Recipe Notes

Good To Know

  • For added moisture and a subtle fruity flavor, fold in 1/2 cup of mashed ripe banana or unsweetened applesauce to the batter. This also helps naturally sweeten the cake and makes it more appealing to kids.
  • If you want a nutty crunch, sprinkle a handful of chopped walnuts, almonds, or pumpkin seeds on top of the batter before baking.
  • Let the cake cool completely before slicing to prevent crumbling.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute the fresh cream with coconut cream or a thick plant-based yogurt, and ensure your oats are certified gluten-free if serving someone with gluten sensitivity.

Expert Tips

  • For a richer flavor, toast the oats before grinding them into flour. This adds a depth of nuttiness to the final product.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the oats, resulting in a tougher cake. Mix until just combined.
  • Adjust baking time as needed. Ovens vary, so start checking for doneness around the minimum baking time using a toothpick. It should come out clean when inserted into the center.

Storage Instructions

  • Store leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
