The Ingredients
No matter which side of the pond you’re on, I’ve got you covered with exact measurements to make sure your sponge turns out light, fluffy, and completely irresistible.
The Sponge Base:
UK: 225g self-raising flour & 225g caster sugar | US: 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour & 1 cup granulated sugar
UK: 225g unsalted butter (softened) | US: 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
Both: 4 large eggs
UK: 2 tsp baking powder | US: (Included in the flour mix above!)
Both: 2 tsp vanilla extract
The Magic Spread:
UK: 1 jar (400g) Biscoff spread & 1 packet Biscoff biscuits | US: 1 jar (14 oz) Biscoff spread & 1 package Lotus Biscoff cookies
The Dreamy Frosting:
UK: 250g icing sugar & 75g butter | US: 2 cups powdered sugar & 1/3 cup butter
Both: 2–3 tbsp milk
Step-by-Step Method
1. Prep your gear: Preheat your oven to UK: 180°C (160°C fan) / US: 350°F. Grease two 8-inch round cake tins and line the bottoms with baking parchment so your sponges slide right out later.
2. Mix the base: In a large bowl, beat your softened butter and sugar together until it turns pale, light, and wonderfully fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, pouring in the vanilla extract with the last egg.
3. Fold and bake: Gently fold in your flour, baking powder, and a tiny pinch of salt until just combined—don’t overmix it! Divide the batter evenly between your two tins and bake for UK: 20–25 minutes / US: 22–25 minutes until golden on top and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Let them cool completely.
4. Whisk up the frosting: Beat together your butter, powdered or icing sugar, a good 3 to 4 tablespoons of Biscoff spread, and a splash of milk until it’s smooth, creamy, and spreadable.
5. Build the masterpiece: Place your first cake layer down, spread a generous layer of frosting and a drizzle of melted Biscoff spread over it. Pop the second layer on top, frost the outside, and go wild decorating with crushed Biscoff cookies and an extra drizzle!
Why You’ll Love It
The best part about this bake? It looks like it took you all day in a professional patisserie, but the steps are surprisingly straightforward. The sponge stays melt-in-your-mouth moist, and that spiced buttercream is dangerously good straight off the spatula.
