Tips & Variations
- For a richer flavor, warm the Biscoff spread slightly before mixing it with condensed milk to help it combine smoothly.
- Use a fork or skewer if you don’t have a wooden spoon handle to poke holes in the cake.
- Try adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg to the whipped cream for a subtle warm spice twist.
- Substitute crushed Biscoff cookies with crushed speculoos or graham crackers if needed.
Storage
Store the chilled poke cake covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days to maintain freshness. When ready to serve, allow it to sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes for easier slicing. Avoid freezing as the whipped topping may lose its texture.

FAQs
Can I make this cake from scratch instead of using a box mix?
Absolutely! You can use your favorite homemade vanilla cake recipe. Just ensure it’s baked in a 9×13-inch pan and cooled before poking holes and adding the Biscoff mixture.
What if I don’t have Biscoff spread?
If Biscoff spread is unavailable, you can substitute with peanut butter or cookie butter, but the unique caramelized flavor of Biscoff is what makes this cake special.

Ingredients
Cake Ingredients
- 1 box vanilla cake mix
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup water
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
Filling and Topping
- 1 cup Biscoff spread (plus extra for drizzling)
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Crushed Biscoff cookies (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature while you prepare the cake batter.
- Prepare Cake Batter: In a large bowl, combine the vanilla cake mix, eggs, water, and vegetable oil. Stir until you get a smooth and homogeneous batter with no lumps.
- Bake Cake: Pour the prepared batter evenly into a greased 9×13-inch baking pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating it’s fully cooked.
- Cool Cake: Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. This resting time helps the cake firm up, making it easier to poke holes without breaking it apart.
- Poke Holes: Use the handle of a wooden spoon to gently poke holes all over the surface of the cake, spacing them evenly to allow the filling to seep through.
- Prepare Biscoff Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk and 1 cup of Biscoff spread until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Drizzle Filling: Slowly drizzle the Biscoff-condensed milk mixture over the cake, making sure it seeps into all the holes for maximum flavor and moisture.
- Make Whipped Cream Topping: In a new bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form, creating a light and fluffy topping.
- Top the Cake: Generously spread the whipped cream evenly over the cooled cake, covering the surface completely.
- Garnish: Sprinkle crushed Biscoff cookies on top of the whipped cream and drizzle additional Biscoff spread over everything for an extra burst of flavor.
- Chill: Refrigerate the poke cake for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the cake to fully set.
- Serve: Slice the chilled cake into pieces and enjoy this creamy, flavorful Biscoff poke cake dessert.
Notes
- Make sure the cake is warm but not hot before poking holes to avoid crumbling.
- You can substitute Biscoff spread with cookie butter if needed.
- Use full-fat heavy cream for best whipping results and creaminess.
- For an extra touch, serve with a drizzle of caramel or a dusting of cinnamon.
- Always chill the cake well for the best texture and flavor infusion.
