Orange & Apple Oatmeal Cake (95), 216

This benign cake, with oats and whole wheat flour, sparkled with orange and apple, and spicy with cinnamon is a true caloric bargain. It yields 24 generous servings and freezes beautifully. Because this contains a high quantity of oats, you cannot test with a cake tester, so look for the top to be nicely browned.

2 tablespoons oil
2/3 cup sugar
1 cup non-fat buttermilk
1 egg

1/2 orange grated (about 3 tablespoons fruit, juice and peel)
1 medium apple, peeled and grated

1 1/2 cups oats
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons cinnamon

In the large bowl of an electric mixer, beat together first 4 ingredients until blended. Stir in orange and apple. Stir together the remaining ingredients and add, all at once, beating until blended. Do not overbeat.

Spread batter evenly into a 9x13-inch non-stick baking pan and bake at 350-degrees for 30 minutes, or until top is golden brown. Allow to cool in pan. When cool, drizzle top with Orange Glaze. Serves 24.

Orange Glaze:
1/2 cup sifted powdered sugar
1 tablespoon orange juice
2 teaspoons grated orange zest (orange part of the peel)

Stir together all the ingredients until blended.
