12 servings

preconditions: Heat oven to 350 degrees.

1

Grease a 9- by 13-inch baking pan. In a medium bowl, whisk together pastry flour, soy flour, whole-wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a large liquid measuring cup whisk eggs, vanilla and sour cream until well combined.

2

In a mixing bowl, with an electric mixer on medium, beat butter until smooth. Beat in sugar substitute. Alternately add the flour mixture and egg mixture to the butter, beginning and ending with the flour mixture.

3

For topping: With a fork, mix oatmeal, sugar substitute, pecans, butter and cinnamon until well combined.

4

Spread two-thirds of the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle half the topping over batter and lightly swirl with a knife to create pockets of topping within the batter. Spoon remaining batter over topping, and sprinkle evenly with remaining topping. Bake about 40 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

5

Cool cake in pan set over a wire rack; serve warm or at room temperature. Cut into 12 pieces. Cake may be stored at room temperature 2 days, or frozen up to 2 months.

Comments: The combination of flours gives the cake a tender texture, and adding the crunchy sweet topping in two layers provides pockets of extra flavor throughout.
