Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350ðF (175ðC).
  2. Generously grease a bundt pan with margarine to prevent sticking.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the oats with 1 cup of boiling water or apple juice and let sit for 10 minutes to soften.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the margarine, white sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  5. Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
  6. Stir in the vanilla, rum, and brandy flavorings.
  7. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves.
  8. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, beating until smooth and combined.
  9. Fold in the softened oat mixture, followed by the raisins, chopped nuts, sesame seeds, and poppy seeds.
  10. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top.
  11. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  12. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully invert onto a serving plate.
