- Why is the batter thick?
- Oats absorb a lot of liquid. If you didn't measure ratios precisely, or let it stand too long before baking, the batter can thicken up.
- Can I use whole rolled oats without grinding?
- Not recommended, as without grinding the cake structure will be crumbly and fall apart.

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Thoroughly grease the Bundt tin with butter, then dust with flour so it gets into every crevice.
Grind the oats to flour fineness in a coffee grinder or processor.
In a bowl, mix the dry ingredients: flour, ground oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
Whisk the eggs with the caster sugar and vanilla sugar until pale and doubled in volume (approx. 5-6 mins).
Drizzle the melted butter and honey into the egg foam, then mix until smooth.
Add the flour mixture and milk to the mass alternately in 2-3 batches. Mix only until just combined.
Pour the batter into the tin and tap the tin against the counter a few times to release larger air bubbles.
Bake for 40-45 minutes. Perform a skewer test: if the skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean, it is ready.
Let cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack. Dust with icing sugar before serving.
