Ingredients

½ cup salted butter softened for easy mixing
½ cup 140g cookie butter smooth spread can substitute with crunchy for texture
1 ¾ cup 350g granulated sugar for sweetness and structure
¼ cup vegetable oil neutral flavor helps keep the cake moist
4 egg whites room temperature adds lightness to the cake
2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract for flavor
2 ⅔ cups 317g cake flour (light and soft texture)
2 teaspoons baking powder helps cake rise
½ teaspoon baking soda activates with acidity
½ teaspoon salt balances sweetness
¾ cup whole milk room temperature for better mixing
¾ cup sour cream adds moisture and tang
14 Biscoff cookies roughly chopped, about 1 ¼ cups for added texture and flavor

Biscoff Buttercream

1 cup salted butter softened
¾ cup 210g cookie butter smooth for easy blending
4 cups powdered sugar for sweetness and structure
1-2 tablespoons heavy cream to adjust consistency
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract for flavor

Assembly

¾ cup 210g cookie butter melted and cooled slightly divided
4-6 Biscoff cookies crushed for decoration

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line three 8-inch cake pans with parchment paper circles and grease them with baking spray.
In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter, cookie butter, and granulated sugar for 2-3 minutes until fully combined. Add the vegetable oil, egg whites, and vanilla extract. Continue beating until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Add half of the sifted cake flour to the mixture, followed by the baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix until just combined. Add half of the milk and sour cream and mix again, scraping the bowl as needed. Repeat with the remaining flour, milk, and sour cream.
Fold in the roughly broken Biscoff cookies, ensuring they are evenly distributed in the batter. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
Bake at 350°F for 23-28 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove the cakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. bake
For the buttercream frosting, beat the softened butter and cookie butter until smooth. Gradually add half of the powdered sugar and mix until combined. Add the remaining powdered sugar along with the heavy cream and vanilla extract. Continue beating until light and fluffy.
Place the first cake layer on a cake stand. Frost it with about ¾ cup of the cookie butter frosting. Heat ½ cup of the remaining cookie butter in the microwave for 30 seconds until pourable but not too hot. Drizzle ¼ cup of the melted cookie butter over the first cake layer. Repeat this process for the second layer.
Top with the final cake layer and apply a crumb coat of frosting over the entire cake. Freeze the cake for 30 minutes to set the frosting.
Once firm, apply the remaining frosting to cover the top and sides of the cake. Heat the remaining ¼ cup of cookie butter in the microwave for 20-25 seconds until pourable. Drizzle over the top of the cake and use a spatula to create a drip effect if desired. Finish by sprinkling crushed Biscoff cookies around the top for decoration.
