Biscoff Cake

Fluffy and moist, Biscoff cake is a truly decadent treat. This cake is made of layers of cookie cake, cookie filling and creamy frosting, for a dessert that’s bound to impress. Here’s how to make it.

Ingredients for Biscoff Cake

• Flour: Sift the flour to remove any clumps first.
• Baking powder: If you’re unsure if your baking powder is expired, find out how to test it.
• Ground cinnamon: A hint of cinnamon provides a nice warmth and spice to this cake.
• Baking soda: Along with baking powder, baking soda helps the cake rise.
• Salt: Salt brings out all the flavors.
• Canola oil: Canola oil adds crucial moisture.
• Butter: Use unsalted butter that has been left out at room temperature for 10 minutes.
• Brown sugar: Brown sugar gives this cake a delicious caramel flavor.
• Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time so they blend properly with the other ingredients.
• Biscoff creamy cookie spread: This spread gives this cake its rich, buttery base.

Filling:

• Biscoff cookies: Biscoff cookies have a distinctive flavor profile of caramel and spices.
• Butter: Let the butter sit at room temperature before using so it’s easier to blend.
• Confectioners’ sugar: This type of sugar is best because it dissolves immediately and isn’t grainy.
• Heavy whipping cream: Heavy whipping cream has a rich, creamy flavor that can’t be mimicked.

Frosting:

• Butter: Use softened, unsalted butter for the frosting.
• Biscoff creamy cookie spread: This gives the frosting a deliciously spiced flavor.
• Confectioners’ sugar: Confectioners’ sugar dissolves quickly at room temperature, so it’s ideal for frosting.
• Heavy whipping cream: Heavy whipping cream gives this frosting its fluffy, airy texture.
• Vanilla extract: Vanilla extract enhances all the flavors.
• Biscoff cookies: Garnish with additional Biscoff cookies.

Directions

Step 1: Prepare the cake pans

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans.

Step 2: Combine the ingredients

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda and salt. In another large bowl, cream the oil, butter and brown sugar at medium speed until smooth, three to four minutes. Beat in the eggs one at a time until fluffy and pale in color, two to three minutes. Beat in the cookie spread and vanilla extract until smooth. Alternate mixing in the dry ingredients and buttermilk with the butter mixture until a smooth batter forms.

Step 3: Bake the cake

Transfer the batter to prepared cake pans. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool completely on wire racks.

Step 4: Make the cookie filling

Meanwhile, place the Biscoff cookies in a food processor and pulse until crumbs form. In a large bowl, beat together the butter, confectioners’ sugar, cookie crumbs and heavy cream at medium speed until well combined, two to three minutes. Cover and set aside.

Step 5: Make the frosting
