Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup organic cane sugar
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any plant-based milk)
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- ½ cup vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
- ½ cup Biscoff cookie butter (smooth, vegan-friendly)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- ½ cup powdered sugar (for frosting)
- ¼ cup vegan butter, softened (for frosting)
- 2 tbsp Biscoff cookie butter (for frosting)
- 1-2 tbsp plant-based milk (to adjust frosting consistency)
Equipment
- Mixing bowls (at least two)
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Electric mixer or whisk
- 9-inch round cake pans (two)
- Parchment paper
- Cooling rack
- Spatula
- Offset spatula or butter knife (for frosting)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 9-inch round cake pans with parchment paper for easy removal.
- Prepare the vegan buttermilk: In a small bowl, combine the almond milk and apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it curdles slightly.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Whisk to combine.
- Combine wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk the vegetable oil, Biscoff cookie butter, vanilla extract, and the prepared vegan buttermilk until smooth and creamy.
- Incorporate wet into dry: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula or whisk until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cake light and fluffy.
- Divide the batter: Evenly distribute the batter between the two prepared pans, smoothing the tops with a spatula.
- Bake: Place pans in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely before frosting.
- Make the frosting: In a bowl, beat the vegan butter and Biscoff cookie butter together until light and creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, mixing well. Add plant-based milk 1 tablespoon at a time to reach your desired frosting consistency.
- Assemble the cake: Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread a thick layer of frosting on top. Add the second cake layer and frost the top and sides evenly.
- Chill and serve: For best results, refrigerate the cake for at least 30 minutes to set the frosting before slicing and serving.
Tips & Variations
Tip: If you want extra Biscoff flavor, drizzle some melted cookie butter between the layers before frosting.
Variation: Add chopped roasted pecans or walnuts to the batter for a delightful crunch.
Tip: For a gluten-free option, substitute the all-purpose flour with a 1:1 gluten-free baking flour blend.
Variation: Use coconut sugar instead of cane sugar for a deeper, caramel-like sweetness.
