Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Oat Mixture

Step 3: Beat the Egg Whites

  1. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form.
  2. Gently fold in two-thirds of the chopped walnuts.
  3. Carefully fold the beaten egg whites into the oat mixture to keep the batter light and airy.

Step 4: Prepare the Topping

  1. Grease the baking pan with butter.
  2. In a small bowl, mix whole oat flakes, remaining walnuts, cinnamon, and honey.
  3. Spread this topping evenly over the batter.

Step 5: Bake the Cake
