Ingredients

2 cups All-Purpose Flour (Can substitute with a gluten-free all-purpose blend.)
2 teaspoons Baking Powder (Essential for cake rise.)
1 teaspoon Baking Soda (Works alongside baking powder.)
1 teaspoon Salt (A pinch can be omitted for low-sodium diets.)
1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon (Try nutmeg as a substitute for a different spice profile.)
1 cup Unsalted Butter (Must be softened for better creaming.)
1 cup Light Brown Sugar (Can replace with dark brown sugar for a richer flavor.)
1 cup Granulated Sugar (Adjust based on sweetness preference.)
3 Large Eggs (Egg replacer can be used for vegan versions.)
2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract (Can substitute with almond extract.)
1 cup Whole Milk (Options like almond milk or oat milk for dairy-free.)
1 cup Sour Cream or Greek Yogurt (Substitute with dairy-free yogurt for vegan option.)
1 cup Creamy Peanut Butter (Stick to a commercial brand for smooth frosting.)
2 cups Powdered Sugar (Adjust based on desired sweetness and consistency.)
1/4 cup Heavy Cream or Milk (Can substitute with coconut cream for non-dairy.)
1/2 cup Biscoff Cookie Butter (Can swap with more peanut butter.)
1 cup Biscoff Cookies (Any spiced cookie can be a substitute.)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 8-inch or 9-inch round cake pans generously and dust them with flour to prevent sticking.
Step 2: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set this dry mixture aside.
Step 3: Beat the softened unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla extract.
Step 4: In a separate bowl, combine the whole milk and sour cream (or Greek yogurt) to create the wet mixture.
Step 5: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk mixture. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Step 6: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Smooth the tops and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 7: Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to wire racks to cool completely before frosting.
Step 8: To make the frosting, beat the creamy peanut butter and softened butter together until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and heavy cream (or milk), mixing until you reach a spreadable consistency.
Step 9: Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of frosting on top, then place the second cake layer over it. Frost the top and sides of the entire cake.
Step 10: Warm the Biscoff cookie butter slightly to make it drizzle-friendly. Drizzle it over the frosted cake and sprinkle crushed Biscoff cookies on top for garnish.

Tips & Variations

For a dairy-free version, substitute milk and sour cream with almond or oat milk and dairy-free yogurt, respectively.
Use dark brown sugar for a deeper caramel flavor in the cake.
Try replacing ground cinnamon with nutmeg or allspice for a different spice profile.
Use crushed ginger snaps or speculoos cookies if Biscoff cookies are unavailable.
Make the frosting extra fluffy by whipping the butter and peanut butter for longer before adding sugar.

Storage

Store the cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Bring to room temperature before serving for best flavor and texture. Leftover cake can also be frozen for up to 2 months; thaw overnight in the refrigerator before enjoying.

FAQs

Can I make this cake gluten-free?

Yes, you can substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. Just ensure it contains the necessary binding agents for best results.

Can I use natural peanut butter instead of creamy commercial peanut butter?

It’s best to use smooth, commercial peanut butter because it has a consistent texture and sweetness that works well in the frosting. Natural peanut butter may affect the texture and stability.

Instructions

Preheat and Prepare Pans: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 8-inch or 9-inch round cake pans generously and dust them with flour to prevent sticking.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside for later use.
Cream Butter and Sugars: Beat the softened unsalted butter with the light brown sugar and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This will incorporate air and help the cake rise.
Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time to the creamed butter and sugar mixture, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract for flavor.
Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole milk and sour cream (or Greek yogurt) to make a smooth mixture.
Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet batter, alternating with the milk and sour cream mixture. Mix until just combined to avoid overmixing.
Bake: Evenly divide the batter between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool Cakes: Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, then transfer them onto wire racks to cool completely before frosting.
Prepare Frosting: Beat the creamy peanut butter and softened butter together until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar and heavy cream (or milk), mixing until the frosting reaches a spreadable consistency.
Assemble Cake: Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread frosting on top. Add the second cake layer and frost the top and sides of the entire cake evenly.
Add Toppings: Drizzle melted Biscoff cookie butter over the frosted cake and sprinkle with crushed Biscoff cookies for added texture and flavor.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, substitute whole milk with almond or oat milk, and use dairy-free yogurt and cream alternatives.
To make a vegan version, replace eggs with an egg replacer and use dairy-free milk, yogurt, and vegan butter.
You can swap ground cinnamon for nutmeg or other warm spices like allspice for a different flavor profile.
Use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar for a richer caramel flavor.
Ensure butter is softened but not melted to achieve the perfect cake texture.
Let the cake cool completely before frosting to prevent frosting from melting.
Store leftover cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
