Ingredients

Scale

For the Cake:

  • 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.)

For the Frosting:

  • 1 cup Creamy Peanut Butter (Stick to a commercial brand for smooth frosting.)
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter, softened
  • 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.)

For Decoration:

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pans: Preheat your 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 mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined.
  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, which takes about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time to the creamed mixture, blending well after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  5. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together the whole milk and sour cream or Greek yogurt until smooth.
  6. Incorporate Dry and Wet Mixtures: Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the creamed wet ingredients, alternating with the milk and sour cream mixture. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined to avoid overmixing.
  7. Divide Batter and Bake: Evenly divide the batter between the prepared cake pans. Place 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: Remove the cakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, transfer the cakes onto wire racks to cool completely before frosting.
  9. Prepare Peanut Butter Frosting: Beat together the creamy peanut butter and softened butter until smooth and creamy. Gradually beat in the powdered sugar, then add the heavy cream or milk to achieve your desired frosting consistency.
  10. Assemble the Cake: Place one cake layer on your serving plate and spread a generous amount of peanut butter frosting on top. Add the second cake layer and cover the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting.
  11. Decorate with Biscoff: Drizzle the melted Biscoff cookie butter over the frosted cake and sprinkle crushed Biscoff cookies on top for added texture and flavor.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with a certified gluten-free all-purpose baking blend.
  • To make the cake dairy-free, use plant-based milk alternatives such as almond or oat milk, and substitute sour cream with a dairy-free yogurt.
  • For vegan adaptations, replace eggs with egg replacer and use vegan butter or margarine instead of unsalted butter.
  • Adjust the powdered sugar in the frosting according to your preferred sweetness and consistency.
  • Ensure all butter and peanut butter are softened to room temperature before mixing to achieve a smooth frosting.
  • The cake layers must be completely cooled before frosting to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Keep any leftover cake covered tightly and refrigerated for up to 3 days.
