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

Frosting and Decoration

  • 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) and generously grease two 8-inch or 9-inch round cake pans. Dust them lightly 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 with the light brown sugar and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This process aerates the batter for a tender crumb.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Incorporate the eggs one at a time into the creamed butter and sugar mixture, mixing well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract to infuse flavor.
  5. Combine Milk and Sour Cream: In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole milk and sour cream or Greek yogurt until smooth, forming the wet liquid component.
  6. Incorporate Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet butter mixture, alternating with the milk and sour cream mixture. Mix gently to combine without overmixing, ensuring a smooth batter.
  7. Divide Batter and Bake: Evenly divide the cake batter between the prepared pans. Place them in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool the Cakes: Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then carefully transfer them to wire racks to cool completely, which helps the frosting adhere properly.
  9. Prepare Frosting: Beat the creamy peanut butter and softened butter together until smooth and creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and heavy cream, mixing until the frosting reaches a spreadable consistency.
  10. Assemble and Frost: Place one cake layer on your serving plate and spread a portion of the peanut butter frosting evenly on top. Add the second cake layer and cover the entire cake with the remaining frosting on the top and sides.
  11. Decorate: Melt the Biscoff cookie butter gently and drizzle it artistically over the frosted cake. Sprinkle crushed Biscoff cookies over the top for an extra texture and flavor boost.

Notes

  • You can substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend for a gluten-free version.
  • Use egg replacers like flax eggs for a vegan adaptation.
  • Adjust sugar quantities slightly based on your sweetness preference.
  • For dairy-free options, replace milk and sour cream with plant-based alternatives and use coconut cream in the frosting.
  • Ensure cakes are completely cooled before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting.
