Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup Biscoff cookie butter
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free option)
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened (or dairy-free alternative)
  • 3 large eggs, at room temperature (or flax eggs for vegan option)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup milk or buttermilk (or plant-based milk for dairy-free option)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients and let the butter and eggs come to room temperature. This helps create a smooth batter and promotes even baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents and spices.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: Beat the butter and sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy. This incorporates air into the batter for a lighter cake texture and develops the flavor base.
  4. Add Eggs and Biscoff: Gradually add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then fold in the Biscoff cookie butter thoroughly to infuse the batter with its signature spiced sweetness.
  5. Incorporate Dry Ingredients and Milk: Alternately add the dry ingredient mixture and milk to the butter mixture, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix gently just until combined to keep the cake tender.
  6. Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter into a prepared cake pan and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Baking times may vary depending on your oven.
  7. Cool and Frost: Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, frost the cake with additional Biscoff spread or cream cheese frosting to complement and enhance the flavors.

Notes

  • Use room temperature butter and eggs to ensure a smooth batter and better rise.
  • Do not overmix the batter to maintain a tender, moist crumb.
  • Fresh spices, especially cinnamon, greatly enhance the flavor quality.
  • Start checking cake doneness a few minutes before the timer ends to avoid drying out.
  • Customize frosting by mixing Biscoff spread into cream cheese or buttercream frosting for extra richness.
