Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour (can substitute with a gluten-free all-purpose blend)
  • 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)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter, softened
  • 1 cup Light Brown Sugar (can replace with dark brown sugar)
  • 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 or oat milk for dairy-free)
  • 1 cup Sour Cream or Greek Yogurt (substitute with dairy-free yogurt for vegan option)

Frosting and Toppings

  • 1 cup Creamy Peanut Butter (use commercial brand for smooth frosting)
  • 2 cups Powdered Sugar (adjust for 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. 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.

Notes

  • You can substitute gluten-free all-purpose flour to make this cake gluten-free.
  • For a vegan version, use egg replacer, dairy-free yogurt, and plant-based milk alternatives.
  • Adjust the amount of powdered sugar in the frosting to control sweetness and consistency.
  • The cinnamon can be replaced with nutmeg or additional spices for a different flavor twist.
  • Use a commercial brand of peanut butter in the frosting for best smoothness.
  • Ensure the butter is softened for optimal mixing when creaming with sugars and in frosting preparation.
