What Makes Biscoff Cake So Special?

Biscoff cookies are known for their unique flavor—somewhere between caramel, brown sugar, and warm spices like cinnamon. When transformed into cookie butter and baked into a cake, that flavor becomes even more luxurious.

In this Biscoff Cake, cookie butter blends seamlessly with brown sugar, butter, and vanilla to create a dessert that’s both nostalgic and modern. Every bite is smooth, comforting, and packed with flavor, without being overly sweet.

Ingredients Overview

This cake uses classic baking staples, elevated by the addition of Biscoff cookie butter.

For the Cake

• All-purpose flour – Provides structure
• Brown sugar – Adds moisture and caramel depth
• Granulated sugar – Balances sweetness
• Unsalted butter or neutral oil – Keeps the cake tender
• Eggs – Structure and richness
• Milk or buttermilk – Soft, moist texture
• Vanilla extract – Enhances flavor
• Baking powder & baking soda – Light, even rise
• Biscoff cookie butter – The star ingredient

Optional Frosting or Topping

• Cream cheese or butter
• Powdered sugar
• Extra Biscoff spread
• Crushed Biscoff cookies

Chef’s tip: Slightly warming the Biscoff spread makes it much easier to incorporate smoothly into the batter and frosting.

How to Make Biscoff Cake

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your cake pans.
2. Cream the butter and sugars together until light and fluffy.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing gently after each addition.
4. Stir in vanilla and Biscoff cookie butter until smooth.
5. In a separate bowl, whisk together dry ingredients.
6. Alternate adding dry ingredients and milk to the batter, mixing just until combined.
7. Pour the batter into prepared pans and smooth the top.
8. Bake until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean (about 30–35 minutes for cake layers).
9. Cool completely before frosting or serving.

The aroma while this cake bakes is rich, warm, and completely irresistible.

Frosting & Decorating Ideas

Biscoff Cake is delicious on its own, but frosting takes it to the next level:

• Biscoff buttercream for maximum cookie butter flavor
• Cream cheese frosting to balance the sweetness
• Drizzle of melted Biscoff spread for a glossy finish
• Crushed Biscoff cookies for texture and decoration

You can keep it simple or decorate it like a showstopper—either way, it’s stunning.

Tips for the Best Results

• Use room-temperature ingredients for a smooth batter
• Don’t overmix once the flour is added
• Let the cake cool completely before frosting
• Chill briefly before slicing for clean, neat pieces

These small details make a big difference in the final result.
