Ingredients
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour (Can substitute with a gluten-free all-purpose blend.)
- 2 teaspoons Baking Powder (Essential for cake rise.)
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda (Works alongside baking powder.)
- 1 teaspoon Salt (A pinch can be omitted for low-sodium diets.)
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon (Try nutmeg as a substitute for a different spice profile.)
- 1 cup Unsalted Butter (Must be softened for better creaming.)
- 1 cup Light Brown Sugar (Can replace with dark brown sugar for a richer flavor.)
- 1 cup Granulated Sugar (Adjust based on sweetness preference.)
- 3 Large Eggs (Egg replacer can be used for vegan versions.)
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract (Can substitute with almond extract.)
- 1 cup Whole Milk (Options like almond milk or oat milk for dairy-free.)
- 1 cup Sour Cream or Greek Yogurt (Substitute with dairy-free yogurt for vegan option.)
- 1 cup Creamy Peanut Butter (Stick to a commercial brand for smooth frosting.)
- 2 cups Powdered Sugar (Adjust based on desired sweetness and consistency.)
- 1/4 cup Heavy Cream or Milk (Can substitute with coconut cream for non-dairy.)
- 1/2 cup Biscoff Cookie Butter (Can swap with more peanut butter.)
- 1 cup Biscoff Cookies (Any spiced cookie can be a substitute.)
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare two 8-inch or 9-inch round cake pans by greasing them generously and dusting with flour.
- Step 2: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set this dry mix aside.
- Step 3: In a separate bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter with the light brown sugar and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Then add the eggs one at a time along with the vanilla extract, mixing well after each addition.
- Step 4: Combine the whole milk and sour cream in another bowl to create the wet mixture.
- Step 5: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter and sugar mixture, alternating with the milk and sour cream mixture. Mix gently until everything is just combined.
- Step 6: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Step 7: Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, then transfer them onto wire racks to cool completely.
- Step 8: For the frosting, beat the creamy peanut butter together with softened butter until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar while continuing to mix, then pour in the heavy cream or milk and beat until fluffy.
- Step 9: Layer the cooled cakes by spreading frosting between the layers, then cover the top and sides with the remaining frosting.
- Step 10: Drizzle melted Biscoff cookie butter over the frosted cake and sprinkle with crushed Biscoff cookies to finish.

Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pans: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 8-inch or 9-inch round cake pans thoroughly, then dust them with flour to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined. Set aside.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: Using a mixer, beat the softened unsalted butter along with the light brown sugar and granulated sugar until the mixture becomes light, fluffy, and pale in color, ensuring proper aeration.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Gradually add the eggs one at a time to the creamed mixture, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract for flavor.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together the whole milk and sour cream (or Greek yogurt) until smooth.
- Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Alternately add the dry ingredient mixture and the milk mixture to the wet batter, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix each addition just until combined to avoid overmixing.
- Fill and Bake: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Place them in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool Cakes: Let the cakes cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, then carefully turn them out onto wire racks and allow them to cool completely before frosting.
- Prepare Frosting: Beat together the creamy peanut butter and softened butter until smooth and creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and continue to beat while slowly adding the heavy cream or milk until the frosting reaches a spreadable consistency.
- Assemble the Cake: Place one cooled cake layer on a serving plate and spread a generous layer of peanut butter frosting over the top. Place the second cake layer on top and frost the top and sides evenly.
- Add Biscoff Toppings: Drizzle melted Biscoff cookie butter over the frosted cake. Finish by sprinkling crushed Biscoff cookies on top for an added crunch and extra flavor.
