There are several things here. Like the last reviewer, mine also doesn't look anything at all like the photo. The cake is moist, but the streusal is rather dry. Also, as a whole, I don't find that it has much flavor to it. For me it was kind of bland and blah, but my husband likes it a little bit more than me. I probably won't make this again, but thank you anyway.

By looking at the picture I am wondering if I made my cake right. It tasted very good, but quite frankly did not look like the picture. My husband said it was good. I served it with whip cream. I will try this again and see if it turns out like the picture.

This cake turned out scrumptiously and the recipe was very easy to follow!! In the cake, I replaced a bit of the flour with oats to add more fiber; for the filling, I used cream cheese instead of butter b/c I was runing low on butter but high on the cream cheese (turned out perfectly); used toasted almonds in the filling, added raisins to the cake, and put my new spice that I received from miller in also (cardamom) as I did not have all the spices. I also used 1 egg istead of just the egg whites. I will definantly be making this in the future!! thanks a lot Mirj!!

Nice cake with lots and lots of tasty oat flavor. Now, I followed the recipe using only 1/4 cup butter, but mine turned out a tad dry, so maybe the alteration Heather U. and BothFex made of using a full stick is a good one. It wasn't floury or anything- just those oats suck up moisture, so it really cried out for a glass of milk or some tea. Flavor was good. I thought that it could have been a tad more appley. I also thought that the streusel seemed kind of dry. I think that I agree with Heather U. and that maybe some more brown sugar could be used in lieu of some of the oats. Its terribly sweet, but that makes it taste very "down home". Good hearty breakfast cake- a nice one for oat lovers- like I said before LOTS of oat flavor. Thanks Mirj.
