How to Make Biscoff Cookie Butter Cake

Making this Biscoff Cookie Butter Cake is simple and straightforward. Just follow the steps below, and you’ll have a delicious cake ready to serve.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 3 large eggs, at room temperature
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup Biscoff cookie butter
• 1/2 cup milk, at room temperature
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1/4 cup Biscoff cookie butter (melted)
• 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 1/4 cup Biscoff cookie butter (melted)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1-2 tablespoons heavy cream
• Biscoff cookies, crushed
• Extra Biscoff cookie butter, melted

Directions

Step 1: Prepare the Cake.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 8-inch round cake pans with parchment paper and flour. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract. Add the Biscoff cookie butter and mix until combined. Gradually add the flour mixture in three parts, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 2: Prepare the Filling.
In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Gently fold in the melted Biscoff cookie butter until fully combined. Set aside.

Step 3: Prepare the Frosting.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the melted Biscoff cookie butter and vanilla extract. Add heavy cream, one tablespoon at a time, until the frosting reaches your desired consistency.

Step 4: Assemble the Cake.
Once the cakes have completely cooled, place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread the Biscoff filling evenly over the first cake layer. Place the second cake layer on top. Apply a thin layer of frosting over the entire cake (this is called a crumb coat). Chill for about 15 minutes. After the crumb coat has set, apply a thicker layer of frosting over the entire cake, smoothing it out or letting it drip down the sides.

Step 5: Decorate.
Top the cake with crushed Biscoff cookies and drizzle with melted Biscoff cookie butter. Let the cake set for 30 minutes, then slice and serve!

Tips to Make Biscoff Cookie Butter Cake

• Make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature for the best results.
