Biscoff Cake is the ultimate treat for cookie butter lovers. With layers of soft brown sugar sponge, a luscious Biscoff buttercream, and a rich cookie butter drizzle, this cake is pure indulgence. It balances warmth and sweetness with every bite, and the crunch from the cookie topping is the cherry on top.

Why You’ll Love This Biscoff Cake

Biscoff Cake offers the familiar flavor of speculoos cookies in cake form. It’s rich without being overly heavy and sweet without being cloying. The buttercream is incredibly smooth and loaded with cookie butter, and the sponge stays moist for days. Plus, it looks stunning as a centerpiece dessert but is surprisingly easy to make.

What Kind of Cookie Butter Should I Use?

The classic and most accessible choice is Lotus Biscoff Spread. You can find it in both creamy and crunchy varieties. For the frosting and drizzle, the creamy version blends more smoothly, but if you want a little texture, feel free to use crunchy for the topping or mix it in. Off-brand cookie butters also work if they have a similar spiced flavor and consistency.

• Eggs

• Whole milk

How To Make the Biscoff Cake

Step 1: Prepare the Cake Pans

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and line two 8-inch cake pans with parchment paper.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.

Step 3: Cream Butter and Sugars

In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Step 4: Add Eggs and Vanilla

Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5: Combine Wet and Dry

Mix in the dry ingredients in three parts, alternating with the milk and sour cream. Start and end with the dry ingredients.

Step 6: Bake the Cakes

Divide the batter evenly between the two pans. Bake for 28–32 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks.

Step 7: Make the Biscoff Buttercream

Beat softened butter and Biscoff cookie butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and a splash of heavy cream until the texture is fluffy and spreadable.

Step 8: Assemble and Decorate

Level the cooled cakes if needed. Spread buttercream between the layers and over the top and sides. Warm a few tablespoons of cookie butter and drizzle over the top. Finish with crushed Biscoff cookies for garnish.

Serving and Storing Biscoff Cake

This cake serves 10 to 12 people comfortably, making it ideal for parties or celebrations. If you have leftovers, store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days. Let it sit at room temperature before serving to allow the buttercream to soften.

Caramel Sauce

Whipped Cream
