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/Greek Yogurt (Substitute with dairy-free yogurt for vegan option.)

Frosting and 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 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the whole milk and sour cream or Greek yogurt together until smooth.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
