Irresistible Biscoff Cake for All Occasions

There’s something magical about the caramelized, spiced flavor of Biscoff cookies—especially when they’re transformed into a decadent cake that melts in your mouth. Whether it’s a birthday, a cozy weekend treat, or just because, this Biscoff cake is guaranteed to steal the show. Let’s gather our ingredients and bake up some joy!

Ingredients You’ll Need

• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour – The foundation of our cake. Make sure to sift it for that perfect, airy crumb.
• 1 cup granulated sugar – Just the right amount of sweetness to balance the rich Biscoff flavor.
• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened – Room temperature is key here! It’ll blend beautifully with the other ingredients.
• ½ cup smooth Biscoff spread – The star of the show! This gives the cake its signature spiced caramel taste.
• 2 large eggs – Always use room-temperature eggs for a smoother batter.
• 1 tsp vanilla extract – A little vanilla enhances all the warm flavors in this cake.
• 1 tsp baking powder – For that perfect rise.
• ½ tsp baking soda – Helps keep the texture light and fluffy.
• ½ cup whole milk – Adds moisture and richness. You can substitute with buttermilk for a slight tang.
• ½ cup crushed Biscoff cookies – These will be folded into the batter for extra texture and flavor.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Now that we’ve got everything ready, let’s dive into baking this dreamy cake!

1. Preheat & Prep: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line an 8-inch round cake pan with parchment paper—this ensures your cake comes out effortlessly.
2. Cream the Butter & Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes with a hand mixer. Don’t rush this step—it creates the base for a tender cake.
3. Add the Biscoff & Eggs: Mix in the Biscoff spread until fully incorporated. Then, add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Gradually add this to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix just until combined—overmixing can make the cake dense.
5. Fold in the Crushed Cookies: Gently stir in the crushed Biscoff cookies, saving a small handful for garnish if you’d like. The little cookie bits will add delightful surprises in every bite!
6. Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter into your prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. The kitchen will smell heavenly—try not to peek too often!

Once baked, let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack. Trust me, patience here pays off—it’ll be much easier to handle once it’s settled. And don’t worry, we’re just getting started! The best part—the luscious Biscoff frosting—is coming up next.

FAQs

Can I make this cake ahead of time?

Absolutely! The cake can be refrigerated for up to 3 days. For best results, add the whipped cream topping just before serving to keep it light and fluffy.

What if I can’t find Biscoff spread?

If Biscoff isn’t available, try substituting with peanut butter or speculoos cookie butter for a similar spiced flavor. The texture will vary slightly, but it’ll still be delicious!

Can I freeze this cake?

Yes, but without the whipped cream topping. Wrap the chilled cake tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw in the fridge overnight and add fresh whipped cream before serving.

My crust is too crumbly—how do I fix it?

If the crust isn’t holding together, add 1-2 extra tablespoons of melted butter and press firmly into the pan. Chilling the crust before adding the filling also helps set it.

Is there a dairy-free version?

Yes! Use coconut cream instead of heavy cream for the filling and topping, and ensure your Biscoff spread is dairy-free (most are). The texture will be slightly richer but equally tasty.
