Ingredients

Scale

Biscoff Cake

  • 1 box (15.25 oz.) Yellow Cake mix
  • 1 cup water
  • ½ cup vegetable oil (olive oil recommended)
  • 3 eggs
  • 8 Biscoff cookies, crumbled (about ½ cup)

Vanilla Pudding

  • 1 box (5.1 oz.) Jello Instant Vanilla Pudding
  • 3 cups milk (2% or whole)
  • 2 tablespoons Biscoff cookie butter

Biscoff Buttercream

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter, room temperature
  • ½ cup Biscoff cookie butter
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Whole Cake Decoration (Optional)

  • 4 Biscoff Cookies, whole
  • 4 Biscoff Cookies, crushed

Cake Slice Garnish (Optional)

  • Whipped Topping
  • 1 Biscoff Cookie, whole
  • Crushed Biscoff Cookie crumbles

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the cake.
  2. Prepare Baking Dish: Butter or spray a 9 x 13 inch baking dish to prevent the cake from sticking, then set it aside.
  3. Mix Cake Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, water, vegetable oil, eggs, and the crumbled Biscoff cookies. Mix everything until fully blended.
  4. Pour Batter into Pan: Pour the prepared cake batter evenly into the greased baking dish.
  5. Bake Cake: Bake in the preheated oven for 28 to 30 minutes or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool Cake: Let the cake cool completely at room temperature, then chill it to prepare for poking.
  7. Make Holes in Cake: Using a straw or the back of a wooden spoon, poke holes evenly all over the surface of the chilled cake.
  8. Prepare Pudding: In a medium bowl, whisk together milk, Jello instant vanilla pudding mix, and softened Biscoff cookie butter until smooth and combined.
  9. Fill Holes with Pudding: Gently pour the pudding mixture evenly over the cake to fill all the holes. Set aside and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow pudding to set.
  10. Make Biscoff Buttercream: In a large bowl, beat the room temperature salted butter and Biscoff cookie butter together using a hand mixer until creamy.
  11. Add Powdered Sugar: Gradually add powdered sugar, about ½ cup at a time, mixing until incorporated but maintaining a spreadable consistency.
  12. Add Vanilla Extract: Mix in the vanilla extract to enhance flavor.
  13. Frost the Cake: Carefully spread the Biscoff buttercream evenly over the pudding layer using an offset spatula or pipe it on if desired.
  14. Decorate Cake: Top the frosted cake with whole Biscoff cookies and cookie crumbles for added texture and presentation.
  15. Chill Before Serving: Refrigerate the cake until ready to serve to keep the frosting firm and flavors melded.
  16. Bring to Room Temperature: About 30 minutes before serving, bring the cake to room temperature for best texture and taste.
  17. Slice and Garnish: When serving, optionally garnish individual slices with whipped topping, a whole Biscoff cookie, and crushed cookie crumbles for an extra indulgent touch.

Notes

  • Ensure the cake is completely chilled before poking holes for best pudding absorption.
  • If Biscoff cookie butter is hard, soften it by microwaving for 15 seconds before mixing.
  • Do not make the buttercream too stiff; it must be spreadable for smooth frosting.
  • Use an offset spatula or piping bag for even and neat frosting application.
  • The cake tastes best after chilling overnight to allow flavors to fully develop.
  • Bring the cake to room temperature before serving to enhance creaminess and flavor.
  • Optional garnishes add decorative appeal but can be omitted for a simpler presentation.
