Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour (Can substitute with a gluten-free all-purpose blend)
- 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon (Try nutmeg as a substitute)
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted Butter, softened
- 1 cup Light Brown Sugar
- 1 cup Granulated Sugar
- 3 Large Eggs
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- 1 cup Whole Milk
- 1 cup Sour Cream or Greek Yogurt
Frosting and Topping
- 1 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
- 2 cups Powdered Sugar
- 1/4 cup Heavy Cream or Milk
- 1/2 cup Biscoff Cookie Butter
- 1 cup Biscoff Cookies, crushed
- 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.
