This Oatmeal Cream Pie Cake has layers of oatmeal brown sugar cake layered with creamy marshmallow filling all topped with oatmeal cookie crumbles.
It’s National Oatmeal Cookie Day.
The cookie I think gets overlooked and shouldn’t.
Part of it is because people have issues with raisins in cookies.
For the record, I am not one of those people.
I love me some Oatmeal Raisin Cookies.
Really love me some Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies.
And I loved Oatmeal Cream Pies as a kid.
I had seen a recipe for Oatmeal Cookie Cake in Tessa Huff cookbook Layered.
Love that book.
While the original cake had an oatmeal raisin filling I decided I would pay tribute to the Oatmeal Cream Pie.
So the cake stayed mostly the same though I added oatmeal and omitted some ingredients.
But I added the marshmallow filling.
Don’t use butter instead of shortening on the filling…it does not taste the same.
You will have a ton of crumbles left but don’t toss them out!
They are fantastic on ice cream!
And as always, stay safe and order my cookbook. 😀

We tried this cake and we LOVED it! My biggest “problem”….too much of the delicious crumbles left over. I’ve been munching on those as if they were granola. Our entire family loved this cake. It will go into our rotation dessert file.
Peabody says
Yeah, there are too many crumbles but you should try them on ice cream! So good. 🙂
Michelle says
Could this be made into cupcakes?
Peabody says
I’m not sure. The cake is rather dense.
Isabel says
Hola por favor me podrán confirmar si es avena en hojuelas o harina de avena. Cual lleva?

What brand of molasses do you use for this cake? Do you use blackstrap molasses or a different kind? Thank you.
Peabody says
I use Grandma’s molasses usually.
Rachel says
Thank you.
Rachel says
May I ask one more question? Do you use Crisco shortening for the marshmallow filling?
Peabody says
I do
Rachel says
Do you use quick cook oats or the old fashioned oats? Thanks.
