Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line three 8-inch cake pans with parchment paper.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Gently fold in the prepared oatmeal, then gradually add the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cake pans. Bake for 20-22 minutes.
- Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, then turn them out onto wire racks to cool completely.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
