Ingredients
Scale
Cake Ingredients
- 1 box vanilla cake mix
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup water
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
Biscoff Filling
- 1 cup Biscoff spread (plus extra for drizzling)
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
Whipped Cream Topping
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Garnish
- Crushed Biscoff cookies (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while you prepare your ingredients to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking.
- Prepare Cake Batter: In a large bowl, combine the vanilla cake mix, eggs, water, and vegetable oil. Stir until the batter is smooth and fully combined without lumps.
- Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into a greased 9×13-inch baking pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating the cake is fully cooked.
- Cool the Cake Slightly: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. This cooling step helps the cake hold its shape when poking holes without crumbling.
- Poke Holes in the Cake: Use the handle of a wooden spoon to gently poke holes all over the surface of the cake. These holes will absorb the Biscoff mixture, making the cake extra moist and flavorful.
- Prepare Biscoff Filling: In a separate bowl, whisk together the sweetened condensed milk and 1 cup of Biscoff spread until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Drizzle Filling over Cake: Slowly drizzle the Biscoff-infused mixture over the cake, ensuring the liquid seeps deeply into the holes you’ve poked.
- Make Whipped Cream Topping: In another bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until stiff peaks form, creating a light and airy whipped cream.
- Top the Cake: Generously spread the whipped cream over the cooled cake, covering it evenly to achieve that creamy finish.
- Garnish: Sprinkle crushed Biscoff cookies over the whipped cream and drizzle additional Biscoff spread on top for extra flavor and decoration.
- Chill and Serve: Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the flavors to meld and the cake to firm up. Slice and serve chilled for the best experience.
Notes
- Allowing the cake to cool slightly before poking holes helps prevent it from crumbling.
- Using the handle of a wooden spoon ensures holes are the right size for the filling to seep in.
- For a richer flavor, drizzle extra Biscoff spread warm so it flows better.
- Chilling overnight enhances the flavor and moistness of the cake.
- Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
