Ingredients
Cake Batter Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup Biscoff cookie butter
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping (Optional)
- Crushed Biscoff cookies to taste
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and packed brown sugar using an electric mixer until the mixture becomes light, fluffy, and pale in color, which usually takes about 3-4 minutes.
- Add Eggs: Incorporate the eggs into the creamed mixture one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure a smooth and homogenous batter.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt thoroughly to evenly distribute the leavening agents and salt.
- Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing gently to avoid over-beating, which can make the cake dense.
- Add Biscoff, Milk, and Vanilla: Stir in the Biscoff cookie butter, milk, and vanilla extract until the batter is just combined and smooth. Avoid overmixing to keep the texture tender.
- Pour Batter into Pan: Transfer the batter evenly into the prepared 9×13 inch baking pan and smooth the surface with a spatula to ensure even baking.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, indicating the cake is fully baked.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, optionally dust the top with crushed Biscoff cookies for added crunch and flavor before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Make sure the butter is sufficiently softened for easier creaming with the sugars.
- Do not overmix the batter after adding flour to prevent the cake from becoming tough.
- Using crushed Biscoff cookies as a topping is optional but adds texture and enhances the cookie butter flavor.
- Ensure even mixing of ingredients to achieve a uniform crumb.
- The cake is best served at room temperature and can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- For a richer flavor, consider substituting milk with buttermilk or adding a pinch of cinnamon.
