Ingredients

Scale

Dry 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.)

Wet Ingredients

  • 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.)

Frosting & Toppings

  • 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

  1. Preheat and Prep: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously grease two 8-inch or 9-inch round cake pans and dust them with flour to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined. Set aside.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugars: Beat the softened unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a large bowl until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Gradually add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  5. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together the whole milk and sour cream or Greek yogurt until smooth.
  6. Incorporate Dry and Wet Ingredients: Alternately add the dry mixture and the milk mixture into the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  7. Divide and Bake: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool Cakes: Let the cakes cool in their pans for 10 minutes, then turn them out onto wire racks to cool completely.
  9. Prepare Frosting: Beat the creamy peanut butter and softened butter together until smooth and well blended. Gradually add powdered sugar and heavy cream, continuing to beat until the frosting is creamy and spreadable.
  10. Assemble Cake: Place one cake layer on a serving plate, spread a generous amount of frosting on top, then place the second layer and frost the top and sides of the cake evenly.
  11. Add Finishing Touches: Drizzle melted Biscoff cookie butter over the frosted cake. Sprinkle crushed Biscoff cookies generously on top for extra texture and flavor.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend.

  • Adjust sugar quantities to your taste preference to control sweetness.
  • Ensure the butter is softened for better creaming to achieve a light and fluffy cake texture.
  • Store the cake covered in the refrigerator and bring to room temperature before serving for best flavor.
