👨🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
Prep & Whisk Dry Ingredients
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease two 8-inch round cake pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Cream Butter & Build Batter
In a stand mixer with paddle attachment, beat softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar on medium-high speed for 3 minutes until pale and fluffy. Add eggs and yolk one at a time, followed by vanilla and vegetable oil. Alternate adding dry ingredients and milk in 3 batches on low speed, mixing just until combined.
Bake & Cool Golden Sponges
Divide batter evenly between prepared pans. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in pans for 10 minutes, then invert onto wire racks to cool completely.
Whip the Silky Biscoff Buttercream
Beat softened butter and smooth Biscoff spread on medium speed for 2 minutes until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar alternating with heavy cream, vanilla, and salt. Beat on medium-high speed for 2–3 minutes until ultra-fluffy, glossy, and smooth.
Assemble the Thick Creamy Center
Place the first cake layer on a serving platter. Pipe a generous dam of Biscoff buttercream around the rim, then fill the center with a thick, luscious layer of frosting. Top with the second cake layer. Apply a thin crumb coat and chill for 15 minutes, then frost the exterior smoothly.
Drizzle, Garnish & Serve
Gently warm 1/2 cup of Biscoff spread until fluid and spoon around the top edges to create a natural caramel drip. Pipe buttercream rosettes on top, crown with whole Lotus cookies, and press crushed biscuits along the bottom border. Chill 20 minutes, slice, and enjoy!
🍰 Storing & Chilling Desserts
Refrigeration: Keep covered in an airtight container or under a cake dome in the refrigerator for up to 4 to 5 days.
Serving Tip: For the richest flavor and silkiest mouthfeel, allow refrigerated bakes to rest at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving.
