• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spread the oats into a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake until lightly toasted, about 20 minutes. Cool the oats for 2 to 3 minutes on the sheet.

Add the baking powder, cinnamon and salt to the food processor and pulse 2 to 3 times to combine. Set aside.
• Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Combine the butter and sugars in the bowl of a stand mixer and mix on medium speed using the paddle attachment until light in color, about 3 minutes. Stop once to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Reduce the mixer speed to the lowest speed and add the vanilla extract and egg. Mix to combine. Slowly add the flour mixture until just combined. Stop once to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Add the remaining toasted oats and the raisins, if using, and mix to combine.
• Scoop the dough with a 1 1/2-tablespoon disher onto the baking sheets, leaving 2 inches between each mound. Bake until the cookies begin to brown around the edges, 12 to 14 minutes, rotating the baking sheets halfway through. Cool on the sheets for 2 minutes, and then move to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Remove from oven, cover with wax paper, and put on a rack to cool before removing from pans.

If it gets too thick, add a tiny splash of orange juice to thin and beat before frosting.
• 9. FROST THE CAKE! Place 3 strips of wax paper on your cake serving plate. Set the first layer on the wax paper. Spread frosting on the top of the first layer, and then add the second layer on top and frost top and sides of cake. Slip the waxed paper strips out from under the cake, and your dish is clean. Refrigerate the cake for 2 or 3 hours. serve slightly chilled.
• 10. What To Expect: This was delicious! The frosting is to die for, and I cannot believe it is lowfat! The cake has a medium dense full-bodied texture. We liked it. Very satisfying. It was great with a cup of mocha or milk. About Substitutes: Can you use Splenda? I have no idea. I have only made the recipe exactly as written, and for us it was sensational. If you do use Splenda with good results, please let us know!
