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 during baking.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and packed brown sugar until the mixture is light, fluffy, and smooth, ensuring proper incorporation for a tender crumb.
- Incorporate Eggs: Add eggs one at a time to the creamed mixture, beating well after each addition to create a smooth batter and to ensure even distribution throughout.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, ensuring even mixing to help the cake rise uniformly.
- Mix Dry into Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined to maintain tenderness and avoid overmixing.
- Add Flavorings: Stir in the Biscoff cookie butter, milk, and vanilla extract until just combined to blend flavors without overworking the batter.
- Prepare for Baking: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared greased baking pan, and smooth the top gently with a spatula to create an even surface for baking.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 40 minutes. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
- 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 texture and presentation before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature for easier creaming with the sugars.
- Do not overmix the batter once the dry ingredients are added to avoid a dense cake.
- Using crushed Biscoff cookies as a topping is optional, but adds a nice crunch and intensified flavor.
- The cake can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for longer freshness.
- For a richer flavor, you can add a teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg while mixing the dry ingredients.
