• 1/2 cup of cream cheese (for frosting)
• 1/2 cup of powdered sugar (for frosting)

Step-by-Step Baking Instructions

Follow these steps to bake your Lotus Biscoff cake:

1. Preheat and Prepare

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan, or line it with parchment paper.

2. Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

3. Cream Butter and Sugar

In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This usually takes about 3-5 minutes.

4. Add Eggs and Vanilla

Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, until well combined.

5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

6. Fold in Crushed Biscoff Biscuits

Gently fold in the crushed Lotus Biscoff biscuits, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

7. Bake the Cake

Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Frosting the Cake

While the cake cools, prepare the frosting:

1. Make the Frosting

In a medium bowl, beat together the Lotus Biscoff spread, cream cheese, and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.

2. Frost the Cake

Once the cake has cooled completely, spread the frosting over the top and sides of the cake. You can garnish the cake with additional crushed Lotus Biscoff biscuits if desired.

Serving and Enjoying

Slice the cake and serve it with a cup of tea or coffee for the perfect treat. This Lotus Biscoff cake is sure to be a hit with anyone who loves the rich, spiced flavor of these popular biscuits.
