Ingredients
Scale
Cupcake Batter
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup crushed Biscoff cookies
Frosting
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- ½ cup Biscoff spread
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with cupcake liners to prepare for baking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt to evenly combine the dry components.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In another mixing bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter with sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, creating a smooth base for the batter. Then, add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, and incorporate the vanilla extract.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet butter mixture, folding gently. Then fold in the crushed Biscoff cookies to distribute them evenly throughout the batter.
- Bake Cupcakes: Spoon the batter into the prepared cupcake liners, filling each about two-thirds full. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow cupcakes to cool completely before frosting.
- Prepare Frosting: In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and continue to mix, then add the Biscoff spread and blend until the frosting is creamy and homogenous.
- Frost Cupcakes: Once the cupcakes are fully cooled, top each with the prepared Biscoff cream cheese frosting using a spatula or piping bag to decorate as desired.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese and butter are softened to room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother frosting.
- Do not overmix the batter once the flour is added to maintain a tender cupcake crumb.
- Crushed Biscoff cookies can be adjusted in quantity based on preference for texture.
- Store cupcakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Allow cupcakes to come to room temperature before serving for best flavor and texture.
