Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line three 8-inch cake pans with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Stir in 2 cups of quick-cook oats, cover, and remove from heat, letting hydrate for about 20 minutes.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, 1 teaspoon of fine sea salt, 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon of nutmeg.
  4. Using a stand mixer, cream together ½ cup of unsalted butter, 1 cup of granulated sugar, and ½ cup of light brown sugar on medium speed for about 5 minutes.
  5. Add 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and ½ cup of full-fat sour cream to the creamed mixture, mixing until fully combined.
  6. Gently fold in the prepared oatmeal, then gradually add the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cake pans. Bake for 20-22 minutes.
  8. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, then turn them out onto wire racks to cool completely.
  9. In a mixing bowl, beat ½ cup of unsalted butter until fluffy, then gradually add 3-4 cups of powdered sugar, followed by ¼ cup of heavy cream and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  10. Assemble the cake by placing one layer on a platter, spreading filling on top, and repeating with the second layer. Place the final layer upside down for a level surface.
  11. Frost the sides and top of the cake with remaining filling. Melt 1 cup of white chocolate chips with ¼ cup of heavy cream over low heat, let cool slightly, and pour over the cake.
  12. Garnish with crumbled oatmeal cream pie cookie pieces on top, allowing the glaze to set before slicing.

Notes

Measure flour wisely using the spoon-fluff method to prevent a dense cake and ensure even texture. Make sure butter and eggs are at room temperature.
