This cake is moist and dense without being too heavy. The sweetness of the preserves and coconut pairs well with the nuttiness from the oats. Ingredients:

1 c old-fashioned rolled oats |
1/2 c granulated sugar substitute |
1/2 c brown sugar |
1/4 c butter, softened |

2 eggs |
1 c whole wheat flour |
1 c all-purpose flour |
1 tsp baking soda |
1 tsp salt |
1 tsp vanilla extract |

1/2 c brown sugar |
1/3 c butter, melted |
