Ingredients
Scale
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 (microwaved 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
- Preparing the Cake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the dark brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vegetable oil until smooth like caramel. Beat in the eggs one at a time for even incorporation. Microwave the Biscoff spread for 15 seconds if stiff, then whisk it in along with vanilla extract until silky smooth. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture just until the flour disappears to keep the batter thick and dreamy.
- Baking the Cake Layers: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line two 9-inch round cake pans. Evenly pour the batter between the pans—using a kitchen scale helps to get perfect layers. Bake for 28-32 minutes or until the edges pull away slightly and a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs but no wet batter. Let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Making the Cookie Butter Frosting: Chill your mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for 10 minutes. Pour in the cold heavy whipping cream and beat on medium until soft peaks form. Gradually add sifted powdered sugar, then beat until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in about one-third of the softened Biscoff spread to create a marbled effect, keeping the frosting light and flavorful. Reserve remaining Biscoff spread for layering.
- Assembling the Cake: Once cooled, spread softened Biscoff spread generously between cake layers for a rich filling. Top with the whipped Biscoff frosting, piping decorative swirls if desired. Decorate with crushed Biscoff cookies on top and whole cookies around the edges for a stunning finish.
- Storage and Serving: Cover loosely and refrigerate the cake for up to 3 days. For longer storage, slice and freeze unfrosted cake portions for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and avoid microwaving frosted slices to prevent weeping of the whipped topping.
Notes
- Use room temperature eggs for better batter incorporation.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the cake tender.
- Chill bowl and beaters before whipping cream for best results.
- Warm Biscoff spread slightly to make spreading easier but avoid overheating.
- Let cake layers cool completely before frosting to prevent melting.
- Crunchy Biscoff spread can be used for added texture but results in rustic frosting.
