Ingredients

Scale

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

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole milk and sour cream (or Greek yogurt) to make a smooth mixture.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
