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 the 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 aside.
Step 3: Beat the softened unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, mixing well after each addition.
Step 4: In a separate bowl, combine the whole milk and sour cream or Greek yogurt.
Step 5: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the butter mixture, alternating with the milk and sour cream mixture. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined.
Step 6: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 7: Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
Step 8: For the frosting, beat the creamy peanut butter and softened butter together until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and heavy cream or milk, beating until smooth and spreadable.
Step 9: Assemble the cake by spreading frosting between the cooled cake layers, then cover the top and sides completely.
Step 10: Drizzle melted Biscoff cookie butter over the frosted cake and sprinkle with crushed Biscoff cookies for a finishing touch.

Tips & Variations

For a dairy-free version, substitute milk and sour cream with almond milk and dairy-free yogurt, and use coconut cream in the frosting.
Swap ground cinnamon with nutmeg or pumpkin pie spice for a different warm flavor.
Use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar for a richer, more caramelized taste.
To make the frosting extra smooth, ensure both peanut butter and butter are at room temperature before mixing.
Replace Biscoff cookie butter with additional peanut butter if you prefer a less spiced flavor.

Storage

Store the cake covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days to keep it fresh. Before serving, let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes for the best texture and flavor. Leftover cake can be wrapped tightly and frozen for up to 2 months; thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving.

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. Dust the pans lightly with flour to prevent sticking.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. Set this aside for later use.
Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened 1 cup unsalted butter with 1 cup light brown sugar and 1 cup granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This usually takes about 3-5 minutes on medium speed.
Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the 3 large eggs one at a time into the creamed butter and sugars, mixing well after each addition. Then mix in 2 teaspoons vanilla extract.
Combine Milk and Sour Cream: In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup whole milk and 1 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt, mixing until smooth.
Incorporate Dry and Wet Mixtures: Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet batter, alternating with the milk and sour cream mixture. Start and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined to avoid overmixing.
Bake the Cake Layers: Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool the Cakes: Allow the cakes to cool in their pans for 10 minutes, then remove them from the pans and transfer to wire racks to cool completely before frosting.
Prepare the Frosting: Beat together 1 cup creamy peanut butter and 1 cup softened unsalted butter until smooth and creamy. Gradually add 2 cups powdered sugar and 1/4 cup heavy cream or milk, beating until fluffy and well combined. Adjust consistency with more cream or powdered sugar if necessary.
Assemble the Cake: Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread a generous layer of peanut butter frosting on top. Add the second cake layer and cover the entire cake with the remaining frosting, smoothing the sides and top.
Add Biscoff Toppings: Drizzle 1/2 cup melted Biscoff cookie butter over the frosted cake and sprinkle with crushed Biscoff cookies to garnish. Serve and enjoy this rich and irresistible cake.
