Ingredients

Scale

For the Cake:

  • 200g unsalted butter, softened

  • 200g caster sugar

  • 3 large eggs

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • 200g self-raising flour

  • 1 tsp baking powder

  • 150g Biscoff biscuits, crushed (save a few for topping)

For the Buttercream:

  • 200g Biscoff spread

  • 200g unsalted butter, softened

  • 23 tbsp milk (adjust for consistency)

  • Extra crushed Biscoff biscuits, for decorating

  • Optional: Whole Biscoff biscuits, for topping


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (fan) and line a 20x20cm baking tray with parchment paper.

  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and caster sugar until light and fluffy.

  3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

  4. Sift in the self-raising flour and baking powder, then gently fold to combine.

  5. Stir in the crushed Biscoff biscuits, reserving a small handful for decorating later.

  6. Pour the batter into the prepared tin and smooth the top evenly.

  7. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.

  8. Let the cake cool completely in the tray before frosting.

Make the Buttercream:

  1. In a large bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy and pale.

  2. Add the Biscoff spread and beat until fully combined and smooth.

  3. Gradually add milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you reach a soft, spreadable consistency.

  4. Spread the buttercream over the cooled cake, swirling it with a spoon or spatula.

  5. Sprinkle the reserved crushed Biscoff biscuits on top and add whole biscuits if desired.

  6. Slice into 12 squares and enjoy!

Notes

  • Make sure your cake is completely cool before frosting to avoid melting the buttercream.

  • This recipe can be doubled for a larger tray or halved for smaller servings.

  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 2–3 days or in the fridge for up to 5 days.

  • For added flair, drizzle melted white or milk chocolate over the top before serving.
