This cake is very special for oat lovers. I made it with caramelized pineapple slices and the pineapple sirop invaded the whole cake making it really delicious. I added butter to the tin where I cooked it to create a strong color without burning the sirop. As soon as it is cooked you have to take it out of the tin, otherwise the pineapple slices will get glued on the tin.

When I cook this cake I usually make it with fruits because the fruits smooth the taste of oats and at the same time you are eating a very nutritive preparation. I use prunes, apricots, apples, and pineapples as my favorite fruits for this cake. The spices are important to obtain a flavored cake and the fruits sirop cover the cake on the outside. I recommend to eat it very cold and as it gets older it will get better.

• 4 cups of oats
