Ingredients

3 cups old fashion oats
1/2 tsp salt
1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature

Preheat the oven to 325F degrees.

Place oats in a processor and grind into a fine powder.

Combine butter, cream and syrup together into the food processor.

Blend together.

Add the oats back into processor. Blend for 30 seconds.

Butter the bottoms and sides of 2 round cake pans.

Place the oat mixture into the two pans.

Use a knife and cut each cake into 8 wedges.

Place in the oven and bake 30 minutes.
