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. Prepare Pans and Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 8-inch or 9-inch round cake pans generously and dust them with flour to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set this mixture aside.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter with the light brown sugar and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, enhancing the cake’s texture.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Incorporate the eggs one at a time into the creamed butter and sugar mixture, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
  5. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together the whole milk and sour cream (or Greek yogurt) until smooth.
  6. Integrate Dry and Wet Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk and sour cream mixture. Mix carefully to ensure just combined batter without overmixing.
  7. Divide Batter and Bake: Evenly divide the 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 the Cakes: Allow the cakes to cool in their pans for 10 minutes, then turn them out onto wire racks to cool completely before frosting.
  9. Prepare Frosting: Beat the creamy peanut butter together with softened butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, alternating with the heavy cream or milk, until you achieve a spreadable consistency.
  10. Assemble the Cake: Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread a portion of the frosting evenly on top. Add the second cake layer, then frost the top and sides of the entire cake evenly.
  11. Decorate with Biscoff: Drizzle melted Biscoff cookie butter over the frosted cake for extra flavor. Finish by sprinkling crushed Biscoff cookies on top as a crunchy garnish.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free all-purpose blend.
  • To make this cake vegan, use egg replacers, dairy-free yogurt, and plant-based milk alternatives.
  • Sourcing a smooth, commercial peanut butter will yield the best frosting texture.
  • Adjust powdered sugar in the frosting to reach desired sweetness and consistency.
  • Store cake covered at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 4 days.
  • Let the cake come to room temperature before serving if refrigerated, to fully enjoy the flavors.
