Ingredients
For the Cake:
- 200g all-purpose flour
- 200g granulated sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp ground ginger
- ½ tsp ground nutmeg
- 2 large eggs
- 200g milk
- 100g melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 100g Lotus Biscoff cookies (crumbled)
For the Buttercream:
- 200g unsalted butter (softened)
- 200g cookie butter (Lotus Biscoff spread)
- 300g powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp heavy cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
Prepare the Cake:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 8-inch cake pans. In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, and spices. In another bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla. Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, then stir in the crumbled Lotus Biscoff cookies. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans.
2. Bake the Cake:
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool completely on a wire rack.
3. Make the Buttercream:
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and cookie butter together until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, cream, and vanilla, and beat until light and fluffy.
4. Assemble the Cake:
Once the cakes have cooled, spread a layer of buttercream on top of the first cake layer. Place the second layer of cake on top and frost the entire cake with the remaining buttercream. Decorate with extra crumbled Lotus Biscoff cookies on top.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, try adding a bit more cinnamon or ginger to the cake batter.
- If you don’t have 8-inch pans, adjust the baking time slightly based on the size of your pans.
- For extra texture, you can sprinkle crushed Lotus Biscoff cookies between the layers.
