Ingredients

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 with 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 add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk and sour cream mixture. Mix until just combined.
Step 6: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 7: Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
Step 8: For the frosting, beat the creamy peanut butter and softened butter together until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and heavy cream, beating until fluffy.
Step 9: Spread frosting between the cake layers, then cover the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting.
Step 10: Drizzle melted Biscoff cookie butter over the frosted cake and sprinkle crushed Biscoff cookies on top for garnish.

Tips & Variations

For a dairy-free option, use almond or oat milk and dairy-free yogurt, along with coconut cream in the frosting.
Swap ground cinnamon with nutmeg or pumpkin spice for a different flavor twist.
Replace peanut butter with additional Biscoff cookie butter for a more intense cookie flavor.
Use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar for a richer, deeper sweetness.
Chill the cake before serving to let the frosting set nicely, making it easier to cut clean slices.

Storage

Store the cake covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Allow to come to room temperature before serving for the best flavor and texture. If desired, warm slices briefly in the microwave to soften the frosting.

Can I make this cake gluten-free?

How do I keep the cake moist?

Using sour cream or Greek yogurt in the batter helps retain moisture. Avoid overbaking by checking the cake with a toothpick right at 30 minutes and adjusting baking time as needed.

Instructions

Preheat and Prepare Pans: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 8-inch or 9-inch round cake pans thoroughly and dust them with flour to prevent sticking.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
Cream Butter and Sugars: Using a mixer, beat the softened unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy, ensuring good air incorporation.
Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time to the creamed mixture, mixing well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract.
Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole milk and sour cream (or Greek yogurt) until smooth.
Incorporate Dry and Wet Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture alternating with the milk and sour cream mixture. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined to avoid overmixing.
Divide Batter and Bake: Evenly divide the cake batter between the prepared pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool Cakes: Allow the cakes to cool in their pans for about 10 minutes, then remove them from the pans and transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
Prepare Frosting: In a clean bowl, beat the creamy peanut butter and softened butter together until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar alternated with heavy cream or milk, continuing to beat until the frosting is fluffy and spreadable.
Assemble Cake: Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread a generous amount of peanut butter frosting over the top. Place the second layer over it and frost the top and sides evenly.
Decorate: Melt the Biscoff cookie butter gently until drizzle-able. Drizzle it over the frosted cake. Finish by sprinkling crushed Biscoff cookies over the top for added crunch and flavor.

Notes

For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with a certified gluten-free blend.
Light brown sugar can be replaced with dark brown sugar for deeper molasses flavor.
Use dairy-free milk and yogurt to make the cake vegan-friendly, but note it may affect texture slightly.
Make sure butter is softened, not melted, for best creaming results.
Crushed Biscoff cookies on top add delightful texture; adjust quantity based on preference.
Ensure cakes are completely cooled before frosting to prevent melting.
Store cake covered at room temperature up to 2 days or refrigerated for up to 5 days.
