- 1 1⁄3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1⁄2 teaspoon caraway seed
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt

- 1 pinch ground cinnamon
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 1⁄4 cups whole milk
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
directions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- While it's warming up, grease a 9-inch cake pan with butter. Line the pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- Now boil the water and pour it over the oats. Let sit while you mix the flour together with the cardamom, caraway seeds, baking powder and salt.
- In yet another bowl, combine the sugars and the melted butter. Add the eggs one at a time and beat until well incorporated, then gradually add the flour and spice mix.
- Finally, stir in the oats and the chopped hazelnuts.
- Transfer the batter the the pan and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until a skewer comes out clean. Let cool then remove from parchment.
- While the cake is baking, make the vanilla sauce.
- In a heavy saucepan, combine the brown sugar, flour and cinnamon with the egg, melted butter, whole milk and salt.
- Heat over a medium flame, whisking constantly. Don't let it boil because it will get grainy.
- When the sauce has thickened (10 to 12 minutes later), add the vanilla extract.
- Spread the vanilla sauce over the top of the cooled cake, then top with the raspberries and whole hazelnuts.
