Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp fine sea salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 7 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 ½ cups packed light brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup creamy Biscoff cookie butter spread
  • 1 ¼ cups buttermilk, room temperature
  • 3 cups powdered sugar for frosting
  • 6 crushed Biscoff cookies for garnish

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius); grease and flour two eight-inch round cake pans.
  2. Whisk flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt together in a large bowl.
  3. Beat softened butter, vegetable oil, brown sugar, and Biscoff spread together until creamy and thoroughly blended.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until smooth.
  5. Add dry ingredients alternately with buttermilk in three batches, mixing on low speed just until batter is combined.
  6. Divide batter evenly between prepared pans and bake for twenty-eight to thirty-two minutes until a cake tester emerges clean.
  7. Cool completely, then frost with Biscoff buttercream, drizzle with melted spread, and garnish with crushed Biscoff cookies.

Notes

Cornstarch softens the protein structure of all-purpose flour, mimicking the delicate crumb of specialized cake flour.
