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 Filling:

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

Biscoff Buttercream Frosting:

  • 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 Fahrenheit, preparing it for baking the cake.
  2. Prepare Bakeware: Butter a 9 x 13-inch baking dish or spray with cooking spray to prevent sticking, then set aside.
  3. Mix Cake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, water, vegetable oil, eggs, and the crumbled Biscoff cookies. Mix thoroughly until well blended.
  4. Pour Batter: Pour the prepared batter evenly into the greased baking dish.
  5. Bake Cake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 28 to 30 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool Cake: Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely before proceeding to the next step.
  7. Make Holes in Cake: Once chilled, use a straw or the back of a wooden spoon to poke holes evenly throughout the cake. Set the cake aside.
  8. Prepare Vanilla Pudding Filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, instant vanilla pudding mix, and softened Biscoff cookie butter until smooth and fully combined.
  9. Pour Filling Over Cake: Gently pour the pudding mixture over the cake, ensuring it seeps into all the holes. Allow the cake to set for at least 2 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
  10. Make Biscoff Buttercream: In a large bowl, beat the room temperature butter and Biscoff cookie butter together until creamy.
  11. Add Powdered Sugar: Gradually add the powdered sugar, about ½ cup at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition until fully incorporated but still spreadable.
  12. Add Vanilla: Mix in the vanilla extract for enhanced flavor.
  13. Frost Cake: Gently spread the buttercream frosting over the chilled cake using an offset spatula or pipe it on using a piping bag for a decorative finish.
  14. Decorate Cake: Top the frosted cake with whole Biscoff cookies and sprinkle crushed Biscoff cookie crumbles over the surface for added texture and visual appeal.
  15. Refrigerate: Chill the cake in the refrigerator until ready to serve to allow the flavors to meld together.
  16. Bring to Room Temperature: Before serving, let the cake sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes to soften the frosting slightly.
  17. Slice and Garnish: Serve individual slices with a dollop of whipped topping, a whole Biscoff cookie, and some crushed cookie crumbles to enhance presentation and flavor.

Notes

  • Using olive oil adds a subtle flavor, but vegetable oil can be used as a neutral alternative.
  • Make sure the cake is completely cooled before poking holes to prevent crumbling.
  • If the Biscoff cookie butter is hard, warming it slightly in the microwave makes it easier to mix.
  • Don’t overmix the buttercream frosting to keep it light and spreadable.
  • Refrigerate the cake to allow the pudding filling to set properly before frosting.
  • Bringing the cake to room temperature before serving enhances the texture and flavor.
