• 2 teaspoons Baking Powder (Essential for cake rise.)
• 1 teaspoon Baking Soda (Works alongside baking powder.)
• 1 teaspoon Salt (A pinch can be omitted for low-sodium diets.)
• 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon (Try nutmeg as a substitute for a different spice profile.)
• 1 cup Unsalted Butter (Must be softened for better creaming.)
• 1 cup Light Brown Sugar (Can replace with dark brown sugar for a richer flavor.)
• 1 cup Granulated Sugar (Adjust based on sweetness preference.)
• 3 Large Eggs (Egg replacer can be used for vegan versions.)
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract (Can substitute with almond extract.)
• 1 cup Whole Milk (Options like almond milk or oat milk for dairy-free.)
• 1 cup Sour Cream or Greek Yogurt (Substitute with dairy-free yogurt for vegan option.)
• 1 cup Creamy Peanut Butter (Stick to a commercial brand for smooth frosting.)
• 2 cups Powdered Sugar (Adjust based on desired sweetness and consistency.)
• 1/4 cup Heavy Cream or Milk (Can substitute with coconut cream for non-dairy.)
• 1/2 cup Biscoff Cookie Butter (Can swap with more peanut butter.)
• 1 cup Biscoff Cookies (Any spiced cookie can be a substitute.)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two 8-inch or 9-inch round cake pans by greasing them generously and dusting with flour.
2. Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
3. Step 3: Beat the softened unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
4. Step 4: In a separate bowl, combine the whole milk and sour cream or yogurt.
5. Step 5: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined.
6. Step 6: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and smooth the tops. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Step 7: Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto wire racks to cool completely.
8. Step 8: Prepare the frosting by beating the creamy peanut butter with softened butter until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and heavy cream, beating until fluffy and spreadable.
9. Step 9: Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread frosting evenly over the top. Add the second layer and frost the top and sides of the cake.
10. Step 10: Drizzle the Biscoff cookie butter over the frosted cake and sprinkle crushed Biscoff cookies on top for garnish.

Tips & Variations

• For a dairy-free version, substitute almond or oat milk, and use dairy-free yogurt and cream alternatives.
• Try adding a pinch of nutmeg or ginger along with cinnamon for a more complex spice flavor.
• If you prefer a stronger Biscoff flavor, fold some crushed Biscoff cookies into the frosting itself.
• Make sure the butter and eggs are at room temperature for a smoother batter and better rise.

Storage

Store the cake covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days to keep the frosting fresh. Before serving, let the cake sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes for the best texture. Leftover cake can be wrapped tightly and frozen for up to 2 months; thaw overnight in the fridge before enjoying.

FAQs

Can I make this cake vegan?

Yes, you can replace the eggs with an egg replacer, use dairy-free milk and yogurt alternatives, and substitute the butter with vegan butter. Use a vegan-friendly powdered sugar and peanut butter to ensure it’s fully vegan.

What is the best way to crush Biscoff cookies for topping?

Place the cookies in a sealed plastic bag and gently crush them with a rolling pin or use a food processor for finer crumbs. Avoid pulverizing into powder—small chunks provide the best texture contrast on the cake.

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pans: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two 8-inch or 9-inch round cake pans by greasing them generously and dusting with flour to prevent sticking.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set this dry mixture aside.
3. Cream Butter and Sugars: Beat the softened unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy, which helps incorporate air for a tender cake texture.
4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time to the butter and sugar mixture, mixing well after each addition. Then add the vanilla extract and continue mixing until fully combined.
5. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the whole milk and sour cream (or Greek yogurt) to create a smooth wet mixture.
6. Incorporate Dry and Wet Mixtures: Alternate adding the dry ingredients and the milk mixture into the creamed butter mixture gradually, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined to avoid overmixing.
7. Fill Cake Pans and Bake: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Cool Cakes: Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove them and transfer to wire racks to cool completely before frosting.
9. Prepare Frosting: Beat the creamy peanut butter and softened butter together until smooth and well combined. Gradually add the powdered sugar and heavy cream (or milk), beating until the frosting is creamy, smooth, and spreadable.
10. Assemble Cake: Place one cake layer on a serving plate, spread frosting evenly on top. Add the second cake layer and frost the top and sides evenly.
11. Decorate with Biscoff: Drizzle melted Biscoff cookie butter over the frosted cake and sprinkle with crushed Biscoff cookies for added texture and flavor.
