Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Cake Batter
1️⃣ Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 8-inch cake pans with parchment paper.
2️⃣ In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and crushed Biscoff biscuits. Set aside.
3️⃣ In another bowl, beat eggs and sugar until light and fluffy.
4️⃣ Add oil, milk, and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
5️⃣ Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
💡 Tip: Do not overmix the batter, as it can make the cake dense.
Step 2: Bake the Cake
1️⃣ Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
2️⃣ Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
3️⃣ Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 3: Make the Biscoff Buttercream
1️⃣ Beat butter with an electric mixer for 2–3 minutes until creamy.
2️⃣ Gradually add powdered sugar, beating until smooth.
3️⃣ Mix in Biscoff spread and vanilla extract, then add heavy cream to adjust consistency.
4️⃣ Beat for another 2 minutes until fluffy and well combined.
Step 4: Assemble the Cake
1️⃣ Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a thick layer of Biscoff buttercream evenly over it.
2️⃣ Place the second cake layer on top and frost the entire cake with the remaining buttercream.
3️⃣ Smooth out the sides and top using a spatula.
Step 5: Decorate with Biscoff Drip & Toppings
1️⃣ Melt ½ cup of Biscoff spread in the microwave for 20 seconds until pourable.
2️⃣ Drizzle it over the top edges of the cake for a drip effect.
3️⃣ Sprinkle crushed Biscoff biscuits on top and add whole Biscoff biscuits for decoration.
