If there’s one thing I’m sure of, it’s that you all love Biscoff! I started baking with it because my partner adores the stuff, and it turns out he’s most definitely not alone. This two layer Biscoff Cake and its buttercream are infused with the delicious caramelised biscuit spread, I’ve given it a good drizzle of melted Biscoff, and then some of the Biscoff biscuits on top. It’s basically Biscoff heaven! This cake would make an excellent birthday cake for the Biscoff lover in your life!
Step by step…
To make the sponge I mixed together the butter, sugar and Biscoff spread. Then I whisked in eggs and milk.
I added self raising flour, then divided the mixture between two tins.
The cakes baked for arund 40 minutes until golden brown, then I made the buttercream using butter, icing sugar, Biscoff spread and milk.
Tips for making the Biscoff Cake:
- If you would like to make this cake in different size tins, please check my Conversion Guide to find out how to adjust the recipe.
- I used the smooth Biscoff spread for this recipe. You could use the crunchy one for the buttercream, just make sure if you are using a piping nozzle that it’s fairly wide at the end so bits of biscuit don’t get stuck in it.
- You can freeze the undecorated cake sponge for up to 3 months, wrap it well in cling film and place baking paper between the two cake layers.
- The biscuits will go soft after several hours in contact with the buttercream so add them later if you’re not serving the cake straight away

Omg. This looks like all my dreams in a cake. I was eating biscoff ice cream while reading your recipe in fact 😂😂 But that I’m obsessed or anything!
Haha I’m not really one to talk when it comes to Biscoff obsession! 😀
This looks so good but I only have 7inch tins and I really want to make this what would the quantities be then?
Hi, you would need to multiple each ingredient amount by 0.77 – you can find a full explanation in my Conversion Guide: https://thebakingexplorer.com/ingredients-conversions/

Made this as a birthday cake and everyone loved it! Really nice and not too hard to make!
Thanks so much Katie, I’m so glad everyone enjoyed it!
My 14 year old made this for her Birthday and found your recipe easy to follow. (It does say add ‘caster’ sugar in the method – obv means the light brown sugar) It’s her first big cake as only done cupcakes and fairy before. We taste tested the levelling cut and it’s delicious!
Thanks for pointing that out to me Jax, I’ve fixed that now 😀 So glad your daughter enjoyed making this!
OMG this is just heaven! Currently making now for my sons 20th and the smell! Even the batter I could have sat there with a spoon and eaten it! My hips will thank me later I resisted. 🥰🥰
I’m so happy to hear this Michelle, I hope you all enjoy it and happy birthday to your son!!
