  • 1 Large Mixing Bowl
  • 1 Medium Bowl
  • 1 Whisk
  • 1 Rubber Spatula
  • 1 8x8" Baking Pan
  • Parchment Paper
  • 1 Hand Mixer for the frosting

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ Cups All Purpose Flour
  • 2 teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1 Cup Light Brown Sugar, tightly packed
  • 1 Cup Unsweetened Plant Milk I used Oat Milk
  • 6 tablespoon Vegan Butter, melted
  • Cup Biscoff Cookie Butter
  • 2 teaspoon Vanilla
  • 1 ½ teaspoon White Vinegar

For the Frosting

  • 4 tablespoon Vegan Butter, room temperature
  • 3 tablespoon Biscoff Cookie Butter
  • 1 Cup Powdered Sugar, Sifted
  • ½ teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 2-3 teaspoon Non-Dairy Milk

To Top the Cake

  • ½ Cup Crushed Biscoff Cookies

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350*. Grease an 8x8 inch baking pan and insert a parchment sling into the pan for easy cake removal. (See above photos for reference)
  • In a medium bowl, add flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Whisk to combine and set aside.
    1 ½ Cups All Purpose Flour, 2 teaspoon Baking Powder, 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • In a large bowl, combine brown sugar, non-dairy milk, melted vegan butter, Biscoff cookie butter, vanilla and vinegar. Whisk until completely homogenous. (See note)
    1 Cup Light Brown Sugar, tightly packed, 1 Cup Unsweetened Plant Milk, ⅓ Cup Biscoff Cookie Butter, 6 tablespoon Vegan Butter, melted, 2 teaspoon Vanilla, 1 ½ teaspoon White Vinegar
  • Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and whisk until everything is just combined.
  • Pour batter into prepared 8x8 inch baking pan. Using the back of a rubber spatula, gently spread the batter evenly into the corners.
  • Bake in a 350* F oven for 35-38 minutes, turning halfway through. A toothpick inserted into the center of the cake should come out clean.
  • Allow to cool completely before frosting.

To Make the Frosting

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment or in a large bowl with a hand mixer, cream the vegan butter and biscoff cookie butter until completely smooth.
    4 tablespoon Vegan Butter, room temperature, 3 tablespoon Biscoff Cookie Butter
  • Add the powdered sugar and mix until combined. Add the vanilla and 2 teaspoons of non-dairy milk and mix on medium speed until light and fluffy. Add the 3rd teaspoon of non-dairy milk only if you need it.
    1 Cup Powdered Sugar, Sifted, ½ teaspoon Vanilla Extract, 2-3 teaspoon Non-Dairy Milk

To Decorate:

  • Add dollops of frosting across the top of the cake.
  • Then using the back of a spoon or an offset spatula, spread the buttercream evenly on top of the cake. Top with crushed Biscoff cookies.
    ½ Cup Crushed Biscoff Cookies
  • Remove from the pan using the parchment sling, slice and serve.

Notes

When whisking the wet ingredients together, be sure to continue whisking until everything is homogenous. It will take about a minute of whisking to ensure the cookie butter is well mixed in.
If you don't want to make your own frosting, store-bought will work great!
To store: place the cake into an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
