Tips for a Successful Bake

To ensure your Lotus Biscoff Cake turns out perfect, be sure to measure your ingredients accurately. Use the spoon-and-level method for flour: spoon the flour into a measuring cup and then level it off with a knife for precision. This helps avoid a dry cake, which can occur if too much flour is used.

Additionally, allow your cakes to cool completely before frosting. This step is crucial; frosting warm cake can lead to melting and sliding frosting. For neat layers and a beautiful presentation, take your time during the assembly. A well-assembled cake not only looks great but also makes it easier to serve and enjoy.

Instructions

Prepare the Cake

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

In another bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. Gradually add this to the creamed mixture, alternating with the milk. Gently fold in the crushed Biscoff cookies. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans.

Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Make the Frosting

For the cookie butter frosting, beat together the softened cookie butter and butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and beat until fluffy. Add milk as needed to achieve a spreadable consistency.

For the buttercream, beat softened butter and vanilla in a bowl, then gradually add powdered sugar. Add milk to reach a creamy texture.

Assemble the Cake

Once the cake layers are cooled, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread a generous layer of cookie butter frosting on top. Place the second layer on top and frost the entire cake with buttercream.

Decorate with crushed Biscoff cookies if desired.
