Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 4 large eggs
- 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 mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and packed brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, which ensures a tender texture for the cake.
- Add Eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition to fully incorporate them and help build structure in the batter.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening agents and salt.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients mixture into the wet ingredients, stirring gently to avoid overmixing which can make the cake dense.
- Add Cookie Butter and Liquid Flavors: Stir in the Biscoff cookie butter, milk, and vanilla extract until just combined to infuse the batter with the distinctive cookie butter flavor and maintain a moist texture.
- Transfer Batter to Pan: Pour the batter into the greased 9×13 inch baking pan and smooth out the top with a spatula for even baking.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, indicating it is fully cooked through.
- 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 extra flavor and texture before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Ensure butter is softened to room temperature for easier creaming with sugars.
- Do not overmix batter after adding flour to keep the cake light and fluffy.
- Use a toothpick test to confirm doneness; baking times may vary slightly by oven.
- Optional topping of crushed Biscoff cookies adds a pleasant crunch but can be omitted for a smoother top.
- Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
