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)
- 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.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents and spices.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
