  • 1 1/4 cup buttermilk (300 ml) (room temperature)
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (226 grams) (softened)
  • 2 ounces cream cheese (56 grams) (full-fat, or substitute with an extra 1/4 cup butter)
  • 3/4 cup Biscoff cookie butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (omit if using salted butter)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 1/2 – 3 cups powdered sugar (275-330 grams)
  • 1-2 tablespoons whipping cream (or milk)
  • 1/3 cup Biscoff
  • 4-6 crushed Lotus cookies for garnish

How to Make Biscoff Cake

Step 1: Baking the Biscoff Cake

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 8-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until combined. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add in the Biscoff spread and mix well. Drizzle in the vegetable oil and vanilla extract, combining thoroughly.
  5. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  6. Slowly alternate mixing in the dry ingredients and buttermilk, starting and finishing with the dry ingredients. Beat until just combined.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.

Step 2: Whipping Up the Biscoff Frosting

  1. In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened unsalted butter and cream cheese until smooth.
  2. Gradually mix in the Biscoff cookie butter until well combined.
  3. Add the cinnamon, salt, and vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually sift in the powdered sugar, mixing well until you reach your desired consistency. Add whipping cream as needed to achieve a lighter texture.

Step 3: Assembling the Cake

  1. Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a serving plate and spread an even layer of frosting on top.
  2. Add the second layer, repeating the process with frosting. Finally, place the third layer on top.
  3. Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining Biscoff frosting.
  4. Drizzle Biscoff spread over the top and sprinkle with crushed Lotus cookies for a delightful crunch.

Fun Ways to Customize It

  • Chocolate Delight: Add cocoa powder to the batter to create a chocolatey twist that pairs perfectly with Biscoff.
  • Nutty Add-In: Fold in some chopped walnuts or pecans for an added crunch and nutty flavor.
  • Zesty Lemon: Add a touch of lemon zest to brighten the flavor of the cake.
  • Seasonal Spices: Stir in some seasonal spices like nutmeg or ginger for a cozy, festive touch.

Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips

  • Make-Ahead: You can bake the cake layers a day ahead and store them wrapped in plastic wrap in the refrigerator for maximum freshness.
  • Ingredient Swaps: For a lighter version, try Greek yogurt instead of sour cream in the frosting.
  • Slice with Ease: Use a hot knife to slice through your layers for a cleaner cut without tugging on the frosting.
  • Storage Suggestions: Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
