Instructions
Prepare the Cake Layers:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line three 8-inch cake pans with parchment paper and grease them well.
- In a large bowl, mix flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
- Add the softened butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together egg whites, buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until smooth.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared pans and bake for 33-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool the cakes in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
2. Make the Vanilla Buttercream:
- Beat the butter on high speed until creamy and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
- Gradually add powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt, mixing on low speed.
- Slowly pour in the heavy cream, then increase to high speed and beat until light and fluffy.
3. Create the Cookie Butter Buttercream:
- Add 1 cup of cookie butter to half of the prepared buttercream.
- Stir in ¼ cup heavy cream for a smoother texture, if needed.
4. Assemble the Cake:
- Level the cake layers using a serrated knife to ensure even stacking.
- Place the first cake layer on a cake board or serving plate. Spread a layer of cookie butter buttercream, followed by a thin layer of cookie butter.
- Repeat with the remaining cake layers.
- Apply a thin crumb coat of buttercream around the cake and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Frost the cake with the remaining buttercream.
5. Decorate:
- Drizzle cookie butter over the top of the cake.
- Decorate with crushed or whole Biscoff cookies around the sides and top.
- Optionally, pipe buttercream swirls on top for an elegant finish.
