Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
• 1 cup packed dark brown sugar
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
• 1 cup whole milk (room temperature)
• 3 large eggs (room temperature)
• 1 cup Biscoff spread (softened)
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 tsp salt
• For the Frosting & Filling:
• 1 cup Biscoff spread (softened)
• 2 cups heavy whipping cream (chilled)
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar (sifted)
• Extra Biscoff cookies for decorating

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 9-inch round cake pans or line them with parchment paper.
2. Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vegetable oil until smooth and caramel-like.
3. Step 3: Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add the Biscoff spread (warm it for 15 seconds if stiff) and vanilla extract, whisking until silky.
4. Step 4: In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture just until no flour streaks remain—do not overmix.
5. Step 5: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 28–32 minutes. The cakes are done when the edges pull away slightly, tops spring back, and a toothpick inserted comes out with moist crumbs.
6. Step 6: Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.
7. Step 7: For the frosting, chill your mixing bowl and beaters for 10 minutes. Beat the heavy cream on medium speed until soft peaks form.
8. Step 8: Gradually add the powdered sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in about one-third of the softened Biscoff spread to create marbled swirls.
9. Step 9: Spread some of the remaining Biscoff spread between the cooled cake layers as filling. Frost the top and sides with the whipped Biscoff cream.
10. Step 10: Decorate with crushed Biscoff cookies and whole cookies around the edges if desired. Chill briefly to set before serving.

Tips & Variations

• Chill your heavy cream and mixing bowl to help the cream whip up faster and better.
• Let the cake layers cool completely before frosting to avoid melting the frosting.
• Microwave the Biscoff spread in short 15-second bursts until spreadable but not hot for easier mixing and decorating.
• You can use crunchy Biscoff spread instead of smooth for added texture in the frosting and batter.
• For a dairy-free option, substitute coconut milk and coconut cream, but whipping results may vary.

Storage

Store the cake loosely covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days to keep the frosting fresh. For longer storage, freeze unfrosted cake layers wrapped tightly in plastic wrap for up to 2 months. When ready to enjoy, thaw overnight in the fridge. Avoid microwaving frosted slices, as the whipped topping will separate.

FAQs

Can I use crunchy Biscoff spread instead of smooth?

Absolutely! The crunchy version adds delightful texture, though it will make the frosting a bit more rustic in appearance and feel. You can mix smooth and crunchy to balance flavor and texture.

Can I make this cake ahead of time?

Yes, you can bake the cake layers a day in advance and keep them wrapped in the fridge. Assemble and frost the cake the day you plan to serve for the freshest results.
