How to Make Biscoff Cookie Butter Cake

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup Biscoff cookie butter (smooth or crunchy)
• 1 cup brown sugar, packed
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened (for frosting)
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for frosting)
• 1/2 cup Biscoff cookie butter (for frosting)
• 1-2 tablespoons heavy cream (as needed for consistency)
• Crushed Biscoff cookies (for sprinkling)
• Whole Biscoff cookies (for decoration)
• Drizzled Biscoff cookie butter

Directions

Step 1: Prepare the Biscoff Cake.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and Biscoff cookie butter until light and fluffy. Add the brown sugar and beat until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then add the vanilla extract. Alternately add the dry ingredients and milk to the butter mixture, starting and ending with dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, then add the sour cream and mix until smooth. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow to cool completely.

Step 2: Make the Cheesecake Frosting.
Beat softened cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating until fluffy. Mix in Biscoff cookie butter and vanilla extract. If the frosting is too thick, add heavy cream. Chill for 15-20 minutes.

Step 3: Assemble the Cake.
Place one cooled cake layer on a stand, spread frosting over it, and then top with the second layer. Frost the entire cake. Drizzle melted Biscoff cookie butter over the top and garnish with crushed and whole Biscoff cookies.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy!
Slice and serve the cake to your friends and family. Watch as everyone enjoys this delightful treat!

Tips to Make Biscoff Cookie Butter Cake

• Make sure your butter and cream cheese are softened for easier mixing.
• Don’t overmix the batter; stop when everything is just combined to keep the cake light and fluffy.
• If you’re running short on time, you can make the cake a day in advance and frost it the next day.

Variation

You can experiment with different flavorings in the frosting. Try adding some cinnamon or even a splash of caramel extract to change things up. For a nutty twist, you could mix in chopped nuts with the frosting or layers!
