- Can I use regular rolled oats?
- Yes, but you must grind them into a flour, otherwise the cake will fall apart.

This cake is proof that you can work miracles without wheat flour. Ground oats replace the flour, while the orange keeps it juicy. It results in a dense, moist cake that tastes even better the next day.
