Cake 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
- Crushed Biscoff cookies for topping (optional, 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, cream together the softened butter, sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
- Add Eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next, blending well after each addition to maintain the batter’s smooth texture.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, evenly distributing the leavening agents and salt throughout the flour.
- Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in the large bowl, stirring gently to combine without overmixing, which can toughen the cake.
- Add Biscoff and Liquids: Stir in the Biscoff cookie butter, milk, and vanilla extract until just combined, making sure the batter is uniform in color and texture.
- Prepare to Bake: Pour the batter into the greased baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula and smoothing the surface for even baking.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating the cake is fully cooked.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Optionally, dust the top with crushed Biscoff cookies for added texture and flavor before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Make sure all ingredients, especially the butter and eggs, are at room temperature for best mixing results.
- Do not overmix the batter to keep the cake tender and moist.
- If you prefer a stronger Biscoff flavor, add an extra 1/4 cup of cookie butter into the batter.
- The crushed Biscoff cookie topping adds a nice crunch but can be omitted for a smoother cake surface.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
