Ingredients
Scale
Cake Batter
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 4 large eggs
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup Biscoff spread (divided)
Milk Soak Mixture
- 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- ½ cup melted Biscoff spread (from the ¾ cup divided)
Topping
- 1 ½ cups heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 6–8 Biscoff cookies, crushed
Instructions
- Prepare baking dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch glass baking dish to prevent the cake from sticking.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Beat eggs and sugar: In a large bowl, beat the eggs with granulated sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. This helps incorporate air for a tender cake.
- Add wet ingredients: Stir in the vanilla extract and whole milk to the egg mixture, mixing until evenly combined.
- Combine wet and dry: Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing just until no streaks of flour remain to keep the batter airy.
- Bake the cake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and poke holes: Allow the cake to cool for 10 minutes, then use a skewer or fork to poke small holes all over the surface to enable the milk soak to permeate.
- Prepare milk soak and chill: In a bowl, mix the evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, and ½ cup melted Biscoff spread. Slowly pour this mixture over the warm cake, allowing it to absorb fully. Refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.
- Whip cream topping: Whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form, indicating the cream is light and fluffy but not overbeaten.
- Decorate and serve: Spread or pipe the whipped cream evenly over the chilled cake. Drizzle the remaining melted Biscoff spread on top and finish with a sprinkle of crushed Biscoff cookies before serving.
Notes
- Use whole milk for a richer flavor in the cake batter.
- Make sure to poke holes evenly across the cake so the milk soak penetrates uniformly.
- For easier melting, warm the Biscoff spread gently in the microwave or double boiler.
- This cake tastes best after chilling overnight to allow full absorption of the milk soak.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
