  1. My oven is broken and I was dying for a pumpkin spiced something. I have a big counter top turkey roaster so I figured.. ha! I also wanted to make it so my daughter could eat it so I created a gluten and dairy free cake using certified gluten free rolled oats:
    Dry:
    4 cups of freshly pulverized oats into flour (measure after you take it out of the blender)
    2 cups unrefined organic cane sugar
    1 tsp each of cinnamon and freshly ground nutmeg
    1/2 tsp each of whole allspice smashed in a mortar and pestle, and salt
    2 tsp baking powder
    1 tsp baking soda

    Wet:
    2 cups of pumpkin puree (from the freezer from last year's jack o' lantern)
    1 pint of home canned applesauce (trying to use up last year's)
    1/2 cup of oil
    2 eggs
    1 tbsp vanilla

    Mix all together really well then let sit for a few minutes to hydrate the oat flour.
    I put this into an angel food pan because it fit well on the rack inside my turkey roaster but wow, did it take a long time to bake, at least an hour and a half or longer. I was testing it every 10 minutes for the last 40 minutes or so at 350 degrees. Next time, I will bake it in a 9 x 13 instead, which also fits in the turkey roaster. It makes a very soft, moist, crumbly cake. We have been devouring it this afternoon. It would be amazing with cream cheese icing... but dairy... so it is unadorned.
