Why You’ll Love This Biscoff Cake

This cake is more than just a dessert; it’s an experience. It delivers all the nostalgic flavor of Biscoff cookies in a moist, decadent cake form. The cookie butter adds a deep, caramelized richness, and when combined with the silky frosting, it’s pure dessert bliss. Plus, it’s easy enough for beginners and impressive enough for celebrations.

What Kind of Biscoff Spread Should I Use?

You can use either creamy or crunchy Biscoff spread for this cake, depending on your preference. The creamy version gives a smooth, uniform texture to your batter and frosting, while the crunchy version adds tiny bits of cookie for extra texture. Both work wonderfully—just make sure it’s the original Lotus Biscoff brand for that authentic flavor.

Ingredients for the Biscoff Cake

When you’re creating a cake this flavorful, every ingredient has a purpose. From the structure to the spiced notes, each component helps bring this dessert together in a perfectly balanced way.

All-purpose flour: Forms the base of the cake, giving it structure.
Baking powder: Helps the cake rise and stay fluffy.
Salt: Enhances the flavor and balances the sweetness.
Unsalted butter: Adds richness and a tender crumb.
Granulated sugar: Sweetens the cake and helps it brown.
Brown sugar: Adds moisture and a subtle caramel note.
Eggs: Bind the batter and give it structure.
Vanilla extract: Complements the cookie butter with warmth.
Biscoff spread: The star of the show, giving the cake its signature flavor.
Whole milk: Keeps the batter moist and smooth.
Heavy cream: Used in the frosting for extra creaminess.
Powdered sugar: Sweetens and stabilizes the frosting.

How To Make the Biscoff Cake

Step 1: Prepare Your Cake Pans

Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease two 8-inch cake pans. Line the bottoms with parchment paper to make removal easier.

Step 2: Make the Cake Batter

In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla and Biscoff spread. Alternate adding the dry ingredients and milk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.

Step 3: Bake and Cool

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn them out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 4: Make the Frosting

Beat the butter until smooth, then add Biscoff spread and beat until creamy. Gradually mix in powdered sugar, followed by heavy cream until the frosting is fluffy and spreadable.

Step 5: Assemble the Cake

Level the cake layers if needed. Spread a layer of frosting between the cakes, then frost the top and sides. Decorate with crushed Biscoff cookies for a pretty finish.

Serving and Storing Your Biscoff Cake

This Biscoff Cake is ideal for serving at room temperature when the frosting is soft and luscious. It feeds about 10 to 12 people generously, making it a great choice for gatherings. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days, or in the fridge for up to five. Just let it come to room temp before serving to bring back its creamy texture.
