Ingredients
2 ½ cups cake flour
1 ¾ cups granulated sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
¾ cup unsalted butter, cubed
½ cup Biscoff cookie butter
½ cup sour cream or full-fat plain Greek yogurt
¼ cup neutral oil (vegetable or canola)
1 cup whole milk
4 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
3 cups powdered sugar (for buttercream)
¾ cup Biscoff cookie butter (for buttercream)
½ cup unsalted butter (for buttercream)
2–3 tbsp heavy cream (for buttercream)
1 tsp vanilla extract (for buttercream)
1 cup Lotus Biscoff cookies, crushed (for layers and topping)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line three 6-inch cake pans with parchment paper.
- In a stand mixer, combine cake flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Add cubed butter and Biscoff cookie butter, mixing on low until the mixture resembles coarse sand.
- Add sour cream and oil, mixing until a thick paste forms.
- Stream in milk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix just until combined, then scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- Divide batter evenly among the prepared pans (about 1½ cups per pan). Drizzle extra melted cookie butter over each layer and cover with remaining batter if desired.
- Bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- To make the buttercream, beat butter, Biscoff cookie butter, powdered sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
- Slice each cooled cake horizontally to make six layers total.
- Layer the cake by spreading crushed cookies, drizzling cookie butter, and piping buttercream between each layer. Place the final layer upside-down for a flat top.
- Apply a crumb coat and chill to set. Then frost with a thicker layer of buttercream.
- Drizzle melted cookie butter over the top and sprinkle with crushed Biscoff cookies.
Notes
- You can substitute sour cream with full-fat plain Greek yogurt.
- Let the cake sit at room temperature before serving for the best texture.
- To freeze, wrap slices or the entire cake tightly and store for up to 2 months.
- Bake in 9-inch pans with adjusted baking time (30–35 minutes).
- Ensure all ingredients are nut-free for allergy-friendly preparation.
