How to Make 🌺🌺🌺 6in 2 Layer Biscoff Cake Filled With Creamy Biscoff Butter, Biscoff Cookie Pieces

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease two 6-inch round cake pans, then line the bottoms with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in vanilla extract.
4. Alternate adding the dry ingredients and milk to the butter mixture in three additions, beginning and ending with dry ingredients, mixing gently each time. Fold in the biscoff spread until just combined.
5. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and smooth tops. Bake for 28-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
6. While the cakes cool, make the biscoff buttercream: Beat butter until creamy, then gradually add powdered sugar. Add biscoff spread and vanilla, mixing until smooth. If too thick, add heavy cream 1 tablespoon at a time until spreadable. Fold in crushed biscoff cookies.
7. Once cakes are fully cooled, level the tops if needed. Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread about half the buttercream evenly over it.
8. Top with the second cake layer and spread the remaining buttercream over the top and sides. Garnish with additional cookie pieces if desired.
9. Chill the cake for at least 30 minutes before slicing to set the frosting, then enjoy your decadent biscoff cake!

Tips for the Best Results

• Use room temperature ingredients for a smooth batter and buttercream.
• Don’t overmix the batter to keep the cake tender and light.
• Cool cake layers completely before frosting to prevent melting.
• For extra crunch, reserve some cookie pieces to sprinkle on top just before serving.
• If your biscoff spread is too stiff, warm it slightly to make mixing easier.

Storage and Reheating

Store your biscoff cake covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days to keep the buttercream fresh. Allow the cake to come to room temperature before serving for the best flavor and texture.

For longer storage, wrap the cake tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving. Avoid microwaving the cake as it can affect texture and frosting consistency.
