I have something to tell you… this is the **best** cake I have ever made. I have everyone who had a piece of this decadent creation to back me up. The cake is dense, moist and chocolaty. The frosting is heavenly, the Biscoff spread that I added gives the Cream Cheese Buttercream a Caramel flavoring. I added Biscoff cookie crumbs, Heath Bar Bits and shaved 70% chocolate to send this cake over the moon!
Never heard of Biscoff spread? You are missing out, it is a peanut butter-like spread made of speculoos cookies. Speculoos are buttery, brown sugar and spice-flavored cookies that are similar to gingersnaps you might know them from the cookies they hand out on the airplanes. The spread is smooth and creamy, with a deep brown sugar, butter and spice flavor to it.
The first time I had Biscoff spread was at a little organic french bistro in Georgetown, D.C. We had ordered a bread basket and they offered this spread with an assortment of jams. We loved the spread so much we bought some from the bistros little shop on our way out.
Its great with your toast, pretzels, apples, celery anything you put peanut butter on, Biscoff spread works. . It’s great for anyone who has a nut allergy as well.

The cake mix was so watery after adding the 2 cups of hot coffee. This amount must be a mistake.
Hi there! It’s indeed a great recipe! However my cake didn’t turn out like yours (i.e. cakes and honeycomb cake texture) but instead it turned out to be dense and gluey. The saving grace was that tastewise it was spot on. Where did I go wrong? Help!
