Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled, no packing)
• 1 cup packed dark brown sugar
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
• 1 cup whole milk (room temperature)
• 3 large eggs (let sit out for 30 minutes)
• 1 cup Biscoff spread (microwaved for 15 seconds if too stiff)
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp salt
• For the Frosting & Filling:
• 1 cup Biscoff spread (softened)
• 2 cups heavy whipping cream (chilled)
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar (sifted)
• Extra Biscoff cookies for decorating

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 9-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.
2. Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vegetable oil until smooth and caramel-like. Beat in the eggs one at a time until well incorporated.
3. Step 3: Warm the Biscoff spread in the microwave for 15 seconds if needed, then whisk it and the vanilla extract into the wet mixture until silky.
4. Step 4: In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet until just combined; avoid overmixing.
5. Step 5: Evenly divide the batter between the prepared pans. Bake for 28-32 minutes, or until the cakes spring back lightly when touched and a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let cool in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
6. Step 6: Chill your mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for 10 minutes. Pour in the cold heavy cream and beat on medium speed until soft peaks form.
7. Step 7: Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in one-third of the softened Biscoff spread to create a marbled effect.
8. Step 8: Spread some Biscoff spread between the cooled cake layers, then frost the top and sides with the whipped Biscoff cream. Decorate with crushed and whole Biscoff cookies as desired.

Tips & Variations

• Chill the heavy cream and mixing bowl before whipping to achieve the best texture.
• Allow cake layers to cool completely before frosting to avoid melting the frosting.
• Microwave Biscoff spread in short bursts until spreadable but not hot for easier mixing and layering.
• For added texture, try using crunchy Biscoff spread either fully or mixed with smooth in the frosting.

Storage

Store the cake loosely covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days to keep the frosting fresh. For longer storage, slice the cake and freeze unfrosted portions for up to 2 months. Thaw frozen cake overnight in the fridge before serving. Avoid microwaving slices with frosting, as the whipped topping will separate.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use crunchy Biscoff spread instead of smooth?

Absolutely! The crunchy version adds delightful texture to the frosting, though it will create a more rustic look and feel. You can combine both smooth and crunchy for balanced texture and flavor.

What if I don’t have two cake pans?

You can bake the layers one at a time in the same pan, just adjust your baking time accordingly and ensure the batter has cooled between batches before frosting.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

For the Cake:

• 2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
• 1 cup packed dark brown sugar
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
• 1 cup whole milk (room temperature)
• 3 large eggs (room temperature)
• 1 cup Biscoff spread (softened or microwaved for 15 seconds if stiff)
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp salt

For the Frosting & Filling:

• 1 cup Biscoff spread (softened)
• 2 cups heavy whipping cream (chilled)
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar (sifted)
• Extra Biscoff cookies for decorating

Instructions

1. Preparing the Cake Batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the dark brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vegetable oil until smooth and caramel-like. Beat in the eggs one at a time for even incorporation. Microwave the Biscoff spread if needed and whisk it in along with the vanilla extract until silky smooth. In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture just until the flour disappears — avoid overmixing. The batter should be thick with little specks of Biscoff visible.
2. Baking the Cake Layers: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 9-inch round cake pans. Evenly divide the batter between the pans, using a kitchen scale if possible for consistent layers. Bake for 28-32 minutes, or until the cakes spring back when touched lightly and a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs but no wet batter. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
3. Making the Cookie Butter Frosting: Chill your mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for 10 minutes. Pour the cold heavy cream into the bowl and beat on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sifted powdered sugar, then beat until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in about one-third of the softened Biscoff spread to create marbled swirls in the frosting while keeping it light and fluffy. Reserve the remaining Biscoff spread for layering between the cake layers.
4. Assembling and Decorating the Cake: Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread a generous amount of the reserved softened Biscoff spread over the top. Add the second layer and cover the entire cake with the whipped Biscoff frosting. Pipe decorative swirls on top if desired. Crush extra Biscoff cookies and sprinkle them generously over the cake, and optionally, place whole cookies around the edges as a crown for a stunning finish.
5. Storage and Serving: Store the cake covered loosely with plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, slice the unfrosted cake and freeze portions for up to 2 months. Thaw frozen cake in the refrigerator overnight before serving. Avoid microwaving frosted slices to prevent the whipped cream from weeping.

Notes

• Use room temperature eggs for better mixing and texture.
• Microwaving the Biscoff spread in short bursts makes it easier to incorporate and spread.
• Do not overmix the batter to avoid a dense cake.
• Chill the mixing bowl and beaters for perfectly whipped cream frosting.
• Let cake layers cool completely before frosting to prevent melting.
• Use a kitchen scale to evenly divide batter for uniform layers.
• Crunchy Biscoff spread can be used to add texture to the frosting.
