Instructions

1. 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.
2. Step 2: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
3. Step 3: Beat the softened unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time and mix in the vanilla extract.
4. Step 4: In a separate bowl, combine the whole milk and sour cream (or Greek yogurt) until smooth.
5. Step 5: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the butter and sugar mixture, alternating with the milk and sour cream mixture. Mix until fully combined but do not overmix.
6. 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.
7. Step 7: Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.
8. Step 8: To make the frosting, beat the creamy peanut butter and softened butter together until smooth and creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and heavy cream (or milk), mixing well until fluffy.
9. Step 9: Assemble the cake by spreading frosting between the layers, then frost the top and sides evenly.
10. Step 10: Drizzle melted Biscoff cookie butter over the frosted cake and sprinkle with crushed Biscoff cookies for a delightful finish.

Tips & Variations

• Use gluten-free flour if you need a gluten-free cake without sacrificing texture.
• Swap ground cinnamon for nutmeg or allspice to customize the spice flavor.
• For a vegan option, replace eggs with an egg replacer, use dairy-free yogurt, and substitute milk and butter with plant-based alternatives.
• If you prefer a stronger peanut butter flavor, increase the amount in the frosting and reduce the Biscoff cookie butter.
• Chill the cake before frosting for easier handling and cleaner layers.

Storage

Store the cake covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To keep it moist, place it in an airtight container or wrap it tightly with plastic wrap. Before serving, allow the cake to come to room temperature or warm slices slightly in the microwave for best flavor and texture.

FAQs

Can I make this cake gluten-free?

Yes, simply substitute the all-purpose flour with an equal amount of a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend. Ensure that your baking powder and other ingredients are also gluten-free.

How do I prevent the cake from drying out?

Be careful not to overbake and always cool the cake properly before frosting. Storing it in an airtight container helps retain moisture and keeps the cake tender.
