How to Make 🌺🌺🌺 6in 2 layer biscoff cake filled with creamy biscoff butter, biscoff cookie pieces, biscoff b…

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease two 6-inch round cake pans; line the bottom with parchment paper for easy release.
2. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon; set aside.
3. In a large bowl, cream the 1/2 cup softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy using a hand mixer, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract and biscoff spread until fully combined.
5. Alternately add the dry ingredients and the milk to the wet mixture, starting and ending with the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined to avoid overmixing.
6. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 28-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow cakes to cool completely on a wire rack.
7. For the frosting, beat the remaining 1/4 cup softened butter until creamy, then gradually add the powdered sugar and 1/4 cup biscoff spread, mixing until smooth and fluffy.
8. Once cooled, spread a generous layer of frosting on top of the first cake layer, sprinkle half of the crushed cookie pieces over the frosting, then carefully place the second cake layer on top.
9. Frost the entire cake with the remaining biscoff buttercream, then decorate the top with the remaining cookie pieces for a crunchy finish.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use room temperature ingredients for a smooth batter and even baking.
• Don’t overmix the batter to keep the cake tender and light.
• Allow the cake layers to cool completely before frosting to prevent melting.
• Crush cookie pieces into varied sizes for a pleasant texture contrast.
• Store the cake in an airtight container to maintain moisture and freshness.

Storage and Reheating

Store your biscoff cake covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days to keep the biscoff buttercream fresh. For longer storage, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and place in an airtight container before freezing for up to 2 months.

To enjoy after freezing, thaw the cake overnight in the refrigerator. Serve chilled or bring to room temperature for about 30 minutes before slicing to enjoy the best texture and flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this biscoff cake larger or smaller?

Yes, you can adjust the recipe for different pan sizes, but baking times will vary. For larger cakes, increase the time and check doneness with a toothpick regularly.

What can I substitute for biscoff spread if I can’t find it?

Speculoos cookie butter or a spiced cookie spread can work well as substitutes. You could also experiment with peanut butter mixed with cinnamon for a similar flavor profile.

Is it possible to make this cake dairy-free?

Absolutely! Use dairy-free butter and a plant-based milk alternative like almond or oat milk. Ensure the biscoff spread you use is also dairy-free or try a homemade cookie butter.

Keep your kitchen cool while frosting and store the cake in the refrigerator. Use chilled ingredients when making the frosting to help maintain its structure.
