  • 0.5 tsp salt divided
  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter room temperature
  • 3 large eggs room temperature
  • 1 cup whole milk room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract divided
  • 0.25 cup Biscoff cookie butter

For the Biscoff Buttercream

  • 1 cup unsalted butter room temperature
  • 3.5 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 cup Biscoff cookie butter
  • 2 –3 tbsp heavy cream or whole milk

For Garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans or line them with parchment paper.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and 0.25 tsp salt.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  • Mix in the vanilla extract and Biscoff cookie butter until smooth and creamy.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
  • Bake for 25–28 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
  • To prepare the Biscoff buttercream, beat the butter until fluffy. Slowly add the powdered sugar and mix until smooth.
  • Add the Biscoff cookie butter, remaining vanilla extract, and remaining salt. Mix well.
  • Add heavy cream one tablespoon at a time until the frosting reaches a smooth and spreadable consistency.
  • Once the cake layers are completely cool, level the tops if needed.
  • Place one layer on a serving plate and spread a thick layer of buttercream on top.
  • Add the second cake layer and frost the top and sides of the Biscoff Cake evenly.
  • Decorate with crushed Biscoff cookies before serving.

Notes

  • You can use salted butter and reduce the added salt slightly.
  • Whole milk creates the softest texture, but 2% milk also works.
  • This cookie butter cake pairs perfectly with coffee or tea.
  • Add whole Biscoff cookies on top for a bakery-style presentation.
