What Kind of Biscoff Should I Use?

You can use both Biscoff cookie butter and the cookies themselves for this cake. The cookie butter adds moisture and a deep caramel flavor to the cake batter and frosting, while the crushed Biscoff cookies give a little crunch between the layers or on top as garnish. You can find both in most grocery stores or online.

How To Make the Biscoff Cake

Step 1: Prepare the Pans and Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 8-inch round cake pans with parchment paper for easy release.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3: Cream the Butter and Sugars

In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter, Biscoff cookie butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4: Add Eggs and Vanilla

Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5: Alternate Dry and Buttermilk

With the mixer on low, alternate adding the dry ingredients and buttermilk to the batter, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined.

Step 6: Bake the Cake

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and smooth the tops. Bake for 25-28 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the cakes cool completely before frosting.

Step 7: Make the Biscoff Buttercream

Beat butter and Biscoff cookie butter together until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and a splash of milk to achieve your desired consistency.

Step 8: Assemble the Cake

Place one cake layer on your serving plate, spread a thick layer of frosting, and sprinkle crushed Biscoff cookies on top. Add the second cake layer and finish frosting the entire cake. Decorate with more crushed cookies if desired.
