Everyone gathers for my niece’s birthday: grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and other relatives. For them, there is no birthday without a cake, because it simply cannot happen. People of tradition, you understand. In general, I urgently and desperately need a cake.
And now BUTs are starting to emerge. The first “but”: I personally don’t need a store-bought cake with margarine and a bunch of additives. The second “but”: I have absolutely no time to bake... I’ll have to compromise and make another “lazy” cake without baking. For example, oatmeal cake with curd cream.
For a no-bake oatmeal cake we will need:
- 800 grams of oatmeal cookies;
- 500 grams 9% cottage cheese;
- 1 cup of sugar;
- 175 grams of butter;
- 4 tbsp. oatmeal;
- 2 tbsp. cocoa;
- 2 tbsp. raisins (optional).
To start the process, we lay out oatmeal cookies around the perimeter of our future lazy cake. And the tighter the better.
Actually, you can do this on a regular tray wrapped in foil. But when it comes to cakes, I am a known coward and overcautious person. Therefore, until the very last stage, I did everything in uniform, just in case... 
Now set aside 25 grams of butter and 1 tablespoon of sugar. This is for later.
Now is the time for the curd cream. For it, we need to beat butter, cottage cheese and sugar in a mixer or blender, and then divide the resulting mass into two parts. Add cocoa to one part, raisins to the other (if we have them). 
Cover the cookies with one of two types of curd cream. I started with white. 
Lay out the cookies again... 
...which we cover with the second type of cream. 
For the third and last time, lay out a layer of cookies and distribute all the remaining cream more or less evenly on top. 
And now let’s remember our little “stash” :)) Heat the oil in a frying pan, pour oatmeal into it, and add a spoonful of sugar. And fry it all until golden brown. 
All we have to do is wait for the cereal to cool and sprinkle it on the top and sides of our wonderful cake. Now it is vital for him to spend at least two hours in the refrigerator. It could be longer. 
Eh, I don’t know if the birthday cake turned out to be quite festive or not. But tasty and fast, that's a fact. I hope the guests (and you, my dear readers) enjoy it. Bon appetit!

A simple and quick recipe for making a homemade cake is especially popular among young mothers. It’s not always possible to convince kids to try fresh berries or oatmeal. If you offer them as part of delicious baked goods, children will enjoy eating them and receive the necessary microelements.
Oatmeal cake
Ingredients:
flour – 100g;
sugar – 150 gr.;
oat flakes – 100g;
any fresh frozen berries (in our case we used chokeberry) – 150 g;
salt;
chicken eggs - 3 pieces;
cream or sweet cottage cheese for decoration.
Cooking method:
1. Sugar is placed in a deep plate and mixed with chicken eggs. Using a mixer or whisk, beat the mixture until a thick foam forms.
2. Add oatmeal to the sweet egg foam and beat thoroughly.
3. Add flour into the prepared dough in small portions. Continuous stirring will help avoid the formation of lumps. If you have a mixer at home, you can leave it on and add all the ingredients while it’s running.
4. At the end of cooking, the dough must be salted.
5. Grease the frying pan with a sponge soaked in sunflower oil, pour 2/3 of the dough, and then spread it evenly over the surface of the berries. The rest of the dough is poured onto the filling.
6. Place the cake in the oven, after making sure that the temperature reaches 200 degrees. Bake the cake base for about 40 minutes. The cake must be baked and the berries must sink to the bottom of the pan.
7. Place the finished cake on a flat dish. First, it should be carefully separated from the edges of the mold with a sharp knife or metal spatula.
8. The surface of the finished cake should be soaked in berry juice. It is decorated with whipped cream or thick sweet cottage cheese.
Dessert is served warm along with hot tea, compote or fruit juice.
