1. Bake the Biscoff Cake Layers
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line three 8-inch round pans.
In a large bowl, cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Stir in vanilla extract.
In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and crushed cookies.
Alternate adding dry ingredients and milk to the butter mixture, starting and ending with the dry.
Divide evenly among pans and bake 25–30 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
Let cool in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
2. Make the Buttercream
Beat butter until pale and fluffy.
Add Biscoff spread and mix until smooth.
Gradually add powdered sugar, then cream and a pinch of salt, beating until silky.
3. Assemble & Frost
Place one cake layer on a stand or plate. Spread buttercream evenly. Repeat with remaining layers.
Apply a thin crumb coat and chill for 20 minutes.
Apply final coat of frosting, smooth out, and chill again for best drip effect.
4. Make the Drip
Warm cookie butter slightly with cream until pourable. Stir until smooth.
Drizzle over the edges of the chilled cake with a spoon or piping bottle.
5. Decorate
Pipe buttercream on top and around the base. Garnish with whole and crushed Biscoff cookies, and optionally mini Biscoff bars or cookie pops.
Use room temperature ingredients for best texture.
Chill cake before applying drip to control flow.
Store in fridge but bring to room temperature before serving for optimal flavor and texture.
