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) and prepare two 8-inch or 9-inch round cake pans by greasing them generously and dusting with flour.
Step 2: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
Step 3: Beat the softened unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until 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).
Step 5: Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the butter and sugar mixture, alternating with the milk and sour cream mixture. Stir until just combined.
Step 6: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 7: Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to wire racks to cool completely before frosting.
Step 8: To prepare the frosting, beat the creamy peanut butter and softened butter together until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and heavy cream, mixing until fluffy and spreadable.
Step 9: Spread frosting between the cooled cake layers, then cover the top and sides with the remaining frosting.
Step 10: Drizzle melted Biscoff cookie butter over the frosted cake and sprinkle with crushed Biscoff cookies for a delightful finishing touch.

Tips & Variations

For a dairy-free version, substitute milk and sour cream with almond or oat milk and dairy-free yogurt, and use coconut cream instead of heavy cream in the frosting.
Swap ground cinnamon with nutmeg or pumpkin pie spice for a different warm flavor in the cake.
Use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar for a deeper molasses taste.
To make a vegan cake, replace eggs with an egg replacer and use plant-based dairy alternatives.
To enhance texture, add chopped nuts or a handful of chocolate chips into the batter before baking.

Storage

Store the cake covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days to maintain freshness. Before serving, allow the cake to come to room temperature for best flavor and texture. Leftover cake can be frozen tightly wrapped for up to 2 months; thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving. Reheat individual slices gently in the microwave if desired.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use crunchy peanut butter instead of creamy?

Using crunchy peanut butter can add texture to the frosting, but it may make spreading more difficult. For a smooth finish, creamy peanut butter is recommended.

Is it necessary to use both baking powder and baking soda?

Yes, both are used to ensure proper rise and texture. Baking soda helps balance acidity from sour cream, while baking powder provides additional leavening.

Instructions

Preheat and Prepare Pans: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 8-inch or 9-inch round cake pans generously, then 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 this mixture aside for later use.
Cream Butter and Sugars: Using a mixer, beat the softened unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy. This step ensures a tender crumb and proper rise.
Add Eggs and Vanilla: Incorporate the eggs one at a time into the butter and sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. Then add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the whole milk and sour cream or Greek yogurt together until smooth.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk and sour cream blend, mixing gently after each addition. This helps maintain a light batter and prevents overmixing.
Divide and Bake Batter: Evenly divide the batter between the two prepared cake pans. Place them in the oven and 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 10 minutes. Then transfer them to wire racks to cool completely, which prevents frosting from melting.
Prepare Frosting: Beat the creamy peanut butter and softened butter together until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and heavy cream, mixing until the frosting is creamy and spreadable.
Assemble Cake: Place one cooled cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a generous amount of peanut butter frosting on top. Add the second cake layer and frost the top and sides evenly.
Add Biscoff Topping: Drizzle melted Biscoff cookie butter over the frosted cake. Sprinkle crushed Biscoff cookies on top for added texture and flavor. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Ensure butter is softened to room temperature for easier creaming with sugar.
Using room temperature eggs helps them incorporate better into the batter.
You can substitute dairy products with plant-based alternatives to make this cake dairy-free or vegan.
For a gluten-free option, use a 1-to-1 gluten-free flour blend.
Adjust powdered sugar in the frosting based on your desired sweetness and consistency.
Be careful not to overmix the batter to avoid a dense cake texture.
Store the baked and frosted cake refrigerated, and consume within 3-4 days for best freshness.
