Notes

  1. Plain yogurt can be substituted for sour cream.
  2. Make sure you use rolled oats and not quick cooking.
  3. The oats can be omitted from the topping if you like, they get soggy the longer they sit. 
  4. This can be frozen, see my tips above.
  5. Easily double this recipe in a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  6. Make sure you toast the oats, this is essential for the flavor of the cake.
