The bottom layer is dense and crumbly with a light brown color, resembling a cookie or graham crust. Above this base is a thick, fluffy white cream layer with a soft texture. Next, a thin layer of brown crumbs is scattered within the cream. The top layer has sliced cream-colored pieces scattered evenly, covered with a generous amount of brown crumb topping. Light brown caramel or syrup sauce is drizzled over the entire dessert, dripping down the sides and pooling slightly on the plate. The background shows a softly blurred white marbled surface.

Ingredients

1 box vanilla cake mix
3 large eggs
1 cup water
1/3 cup vegetable oil
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

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while you prepare the ingredients.
Step 2: In a large bowl, combine the vanilla cake mix, eggs, water, and vegetable oil. Stir until smooth.
Step 3: Pour the batter into a greased 9×13-inch baking pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 4: Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes to make poking holes easier without crumbling.
Step 5: Use the handle of a wooden spoon to gently poke holes evenly all over the cake.
Step 6: In a separate bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk and Biscoff spread until smooth.
Step 7: Slowly drizzle the Biscoff mixture over the cake, allowing it to seep into the holes.
Step 8: In another bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
Step 9: Generously spread the whipped cream over the cooled cake.
Step 10: Sprinkle crushed Biscoff cookies over the whipped cream and drizzle extra Biscoff spread on top.
Step 11: Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for the best flavor.
Step 12: Slice and enjoy your creamy, flavorful Biscoff poke cake.

Tips & Variations

Use cold heavy cream for easier whipping and better volume.
For a chocolate twist, add a layer of chocolate ganache before the whipped cream topping.
Substitute crushed Biscoff cookies with graham crackers if Biscoff cookies are unavailable.
Serve with fresh berries for a pop of color and contrast in flavor.

Storage

Store the cake covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days to maintain its creamy texture. When ready to serve, you can enjoy it chilled directly from the fridge. Avoid freezing as it may affect the texture of the whipped cream topping.

How to Serve

A square slice of layered dessert sits on a white plate with a few crumbs and caramel sauce drips around it. The dessert has three visible layers: a crumbly light brown base, a large thick middle layer of smooth white creamy filling, and a top layer of small white creamy dollops sprinkled generously with fine brown crumbs. Golden caramel sauce drizzles down from the top, running along the sides and pooling slightly on the plate. The background shows a soft focus with a white marbled texture surface beneath the plate. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use homemade cake instead of box mix?

Absolutely! Your favorite vanilla cake recipe works well for this dish. Just be sure it has a sturdy crumb to hold the poke holes and filling.

What can I substitute for Biscoff spread?

If you don’t have Biscoff spread, you can use peanut butter or another nut butter, though it will change the flavor profile. Speculoos cookie butter is the closest alternative.
