Ingredients
Scale
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
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
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, use a mixer to cream together the softened butter, white sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, which will help incorporate air for a tender cake.
- Add Eggs: Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each egg is fully mixed before adding the next to maintain a smooth 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: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the creamed butter mixture, mixing gently to avoid overworking the batter which could toughen the cake.
- Add Biscoff Butter and Liquids: Stir in the Biscoff cookie butter, milk, and vanilla extract until just combined, being careful not to overmix to preserve the cake’s softness.
- Prepare for Baking: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula for even baking.
- Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, indicating doneness.
- Cool and Garnish: Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, optionally sprinkle crushed Biscoff cookies over the cake for an added crunchy topping and enhanced presentation.
Notes
- Ensure the butter is softened to room temperature for easier creaming and better texture.
- Do not overmix the batter once the dry ingredients are added to maintain a light crumb.
- Use a toothpick test to check for doneness to avoid overbaking.
- The crushed Biscoff cookie topping is optional but highly recommended for additional flavor and texture contrast.
- Store cake covered at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
