Instructions
1. Prepare the Biscoff Cake
Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and line two 8-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar for 4–5 minutes until light, pale, and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Mix in the vanilla extract and Lotus Biscoff spread until fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients alternately with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix gently until the batter is smooth.
Fold in the crushed Biscoff biscuits for extra cookie flavor and texture.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cakes to cool completely before decorating.
2. Make the Biscoff Buttercream
Beat the softened butter until creamy and smooth.
Gradually add the icing sugar, mixing on low speed until incorporated.
Add the Biscoff spread, vanilla extract, salt, and heavy cream or milk.
Beat for 3–5 minutes until the frosting becomes light, fluffy, and spreadable.
3. Prepare the Crunch Filling
Combine the crushed Biscoff biscuits with the melted Biscoff spread.
Mix until the cookie crumbs are evenly coated and form a delicious crunchy filling.
Allow the mixture to cool slightly before assembling the cake.
4. Assemble the Cake
Place one cake layer on a cake board or serving plate.
Spread an even layer of Biscoff buttercream over the top.
Sprinkle the Biscoff crunch filling evenly across the frosting.
Add a thin layer of buttercream over the crunch filling to secure the next layer.
Place the second cake layer on top.
Apply a thin crumb coat around the entire cake and chill for 20 minutes.
Cover the cake with the remaining Biscoff buttercream and smooth the sides.
5. Decorate the Cake
Finish the cake with:
- Crushed Biscoff biscuits pressed around the sides
- Buttercream swirls on top
- A drizzle of melted Biscoff spread
- Whole Lotus Biscoff biscuits for decoration
- Extra cookie crumbs for a crunchy finish
Chill briefly before slicing and serving.
Expert Tips
For the Best Biscoff Flavor

For a Professional Finish
Chill the cake after applying the crumb coat to create a cleaner, smoother final layer of frosting.

Add the Biscoff crunch filling just before serving if you prefer a stronger cookie texture.
