Ingredients

• 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1/3 cup smooth Biscoff spread
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup hot water
• 1/2 cup vegan butter (for frosting)
• 1/2 cup smooth Biscoff spread (for frosting)
• 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar (for frosting)
• 2–3 tbsp plant-based milk (for frosting)

Directions & Preparation

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
3. In another bowl, whisk together the almond milk and apple cider vinegar, allowing it to sit for about 5 minutes to curdle slightly.
4. Add the vegetable oil, Biscoff spread, and vanilla extract to the almond milk mixture. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
5. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Gradually stir in the hot water, mixing until the batter is smooth and slightly runny.
7. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans. Tap the pans gently on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Once baked, remove the cakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. While the cakes are cooling, prepare the frosting. In a mixing bowl, beat the vegan butter until creamy. Gradually add the Biscoff spread and mix until well combined.
11. Slowly incorporate the powdered sugar, adding plant-based milk as needed to achieve your desired frosting consistency.
12. Once the cakes are completely cooled, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread a generous layer of frosting on top, then place the second layer on top.
13. Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting. Optionally, drizzle more Biscoff spread on top for an extra touch.
14. Slice and serve your delicious vegan Biscoff cake, enjoying each decadent bite!

FAQs

What if my cake sinks in the middle?

This often happens due to underbaking or using too much liquid. Ensure your oven is properly calibrated and measure ingredients accurately.

Can I use another type of sugar?

Yes, you can substitute granulated sugar with coconut sugar or brown sugar, but this may alter the flavor and texture slightly.

What if my frosting is too thick?

If your frosting turns out too thick, simply add a bit more plant-based milk, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.

Can I make this cake gluten-free?

You can use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend in place of regular flour, but ensure it contains a binding agent like xanthan gum.

What if I want a stronger Biscoff flavor in the cake?

You can increase the amount of Biscoff spread in the batter to 1/2 cup for a more pronounced flavor.

Can I add nuts or chocolate chips to the batter?

Absolutely! Feel free to fold in some chopped walnuts or dairy-free chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.

What if my cake is too dry?

If your cake turns out dry, it may be due to overbaking. Keep an eye on the baking time and check for doneness a few minutes early.

Conclusion

This vegan Biscoff cake is sure to impress with its delightful flavor and moist texture. It’s a perfect dessert for celebrations or simply to enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea.

Notes

For make-ahead, prep components separately and assemble just before heating to preserve texture.

Taste and adjust with acid (lemon/vinegar) and salt right at the end to wake up flavors.
