Ingredients
Scale
Cake Batter
- 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
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: 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 becomes light and fluffy, which usually takes about 3-5 minutes with an electric mixer on medium speed.
- Add Eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully incorporated before adding the next to maintain a smooth batter.
- Combine 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.
- Mix Dry Ingredients into Wet: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing gently to avoid overworking the batter and keep the cake tender.
- Incorporate Biscoff, Milk, and Vanilla: Stir in the Biscoff cookie butter, milk, and vanilla extract until just combined, ensuring no streaks of flour remain but being careful not to overmix.
- Pour Batter into Pan: Transfer the cake batter into the prepared 9×13 inch pan and spread it evenly using a spatula to create a smooth surface.
- Bake the Cake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
- Cool and Add Topping: Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan on a wire rack. Once cooled, optionally sprinkle crushed Biscoff cookies evenly over the top for added texture and flavor.
Notes
- Make sure the butter is softened to room temperature to cream properly and achieve a light texture.
- If you don’t have milk, you can substitute with any plant-based milk for a slight variation.
- Do not overmix the batter after adding dry ingredients to keep the cake tender and moist.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before topping to avoid the crushed cookies becoming soggy.
- You can store the cake covered at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
