Ingredients

Scale

Cake 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.)

Frosting Ingredients

  • 1 cup Creamy Peanut Butter (Stick to a commercial brand for smooth frosting.)
  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter (softened, for 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.)

Topping

  • 1/2 cup Biscoff Cookie Butter (Can swap with more peanut butter.)
  • 1 cup Biscoff Cookies (Any spiced cookie can be a substitute; crushed for sprinkling.)

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole milk and sour cream (or Greek yogurt) until smooth.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
