Irresistible Biscoff Cake for All Occasions

There’s something magical about the caramelized, spiced flavor of Biscoff cookies—and when you transform them into a luscious cake, it becomes pure enchantment. Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, hosting a cozy gathering, or simply indulging in a sweet moment for yourself, this Biscoff cake is the answer. Soft layers, creamy frosting, and that unmistakable cookie butter goodness—it’s impossible to resist.

Ingredients You’ll Need

• 2 cups all-purpose flour – The foundation of our cake, giving it that perfect tender crumb.
• 1 ½ cups granulated sugar – Just the right amount of sweetness to balance the spiced Biscoff flavor.
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened – Always use room-temperature butter for a light, airy texture.
• 4 large eggs – Fresh eggs are key for binding everything together beautifully.
• 1 cup Biscoff cookie butter – The star of the show! Smooth, spiced, and utterly addictive.
• 1 cup whole milk – Adds moisture and richness to the batter.
• 2 tsp baking powder – Our little helper for that perfect rise.
• 1 tsp vanilla extract – A classic touch to enhance all the flavors.
• ½ tsp salt – Just a pinch to balance the sweetness.
• Crushed Biscoff cookies (for garnish) – Because a little extra crunch never hurt anyone!

Let’s Bake This Dreamy Cake

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and generously grease two 8-inch round cake pans. A little parchment paper at the bottom? Even better—it ensures your cakes slide out effortlessly.

1. Cream the butter and sugar – In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes—don’t rush it! The air you incorporate here makes all the difference.
2. Add the eggs one at a time – Crack in the eggs, mixing well after each addition. Pro tip: Add a tablespoon of flour with the last egg to prevent curdling.
3. Fold in the Biscoff goodness – Gently mix in the cookie butter and vanilla extract until smooth. The aroma alone will have you swooning!
4. Alternate dry and wet ingredients – Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add this to the batter in three parts, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients for the perfect consistency.
5. Divide and bake – Pour the batter evenly into your prepared pans. Smooth the tops with a spatula, then pop them into the oven for 25-30 minutes. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean—no gooey batter!

While your cakes cool (patience, my friend!), take a moment to admire the golden edges and that heavenly scent filling your kitchen. The best part? We’re just getting started. The frosting and assembly are where the real magic happens—but that’s a story for the next half of this recipe.

FAQs

Can I make this cake ahead of time?

Absolutely! The cake layers can be baked a day in advance—just wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and store at room temperature. The frosting can also be prepared ahead and refrigerated; let it soften at room temperature before assembling.

What if I can’t find Biscoff spread?

If Biscoff isn’t available, try substituting with a similar cookie butter or even smooth peanut butter for a different (but still delicious) twist. The flavor will vary, but the texture will work beautifully.

How do I prevent my cake layers from crumbling?

Chilling the layers for 30 minutes before frosting helps firm them up. Also, use a gentle hand when spreading frosting—a crumb coat (a thin initial layer) can seal in any loose crumbs.

Can I freeze this cake?

Yes! Wrap unfrosted layers individually in plastic and freeze for up to a month. Thaw at room temperature before frosting. Assembled cakes can also be frozen for up to 2 weeks—just thaw overnight in the fridge.

Is there a dairy-free version?

Easily! Swap butter for plant-based alternatives (like coconut oil or vegan butter) and use dairy-free milk. Just ensure your Biscoff spread is vegan-friendly (most are!).
