Hi, I’m Lina. As a busy mom, I love desserts that bring smiles to the table without taking all day to make. This Biscoff Cookie Butter Cake is one of those recipes that looks fancy but is wonderfully easy. It’s buttery, spiced, and melts in your mouth with every bite, a soft cake layered with creamy Biscoff frosting and a gentle caramel crunch that feels like a bakery treat made right at home.
If you’ve ever had a spoonful of cookie butter straight from the jar (we’ve all done it!), you already know how magical that flavor is. The warm cinnamon and caramel notes from crushed Biscoff cookies give this cake its signature taste, sweet, rich, and just a little nostalgic.
Perfect for birthdays, holidays, or a cozy weekend bake, this cake brings all the goodness of your favorite cookie into an elegant dessert that’s as gorgeous as it is delicious.
Ingredients
For the Cake
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup light brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ cup milk
- ½ cup Biscoff spread (cookie butter)
For the Frosting
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup Biscoff spread
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 3 tbsp heavy cream (adjust for texture)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Topping
- Crushed Biscoff cookies
- Optional: caramel drizzle or melted white chocolate
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 8-inch cake pans with parchment paper.
- Mix the dry ingredients. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- Cream the butter and sugar. In a large bowl, beat butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract.
- Add the cookie butter. Mix in the Biscoff spread and sour cream until well combined.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients. Add the dry mix alternately with milk, beginning and ending with flour. Mix gently until smooth.
- Bake. Divide batter evenly into pans and bake for 25–30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool completely.
- Make the frosting. Beat butter until fluffy, then mix in Biscoff spread. Gradually add powdered sugar and cream until you reach a soft, spreadable texture.
- Assemble the cake. Place one layer on your stand, spread frosting evenly, and top with the second layer. Frost the top and sides, then decorate with crushed cookies and caramel drizzle.

Lina’s Tips for Perfect Biscoff Cake
- Use room temperature ingredients, this helps everything blend smoothly.
- Don’t overmix. Once your batter is combined, stop mixing to keep the cake tender.
- Add a drizzle of warm Biscoff spread on top for an irresistible look.
- Serve slightly chilled, the frosting sets perfectly, making slicing a breeze.
