# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
02 - In a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
03 - In a separate mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy (about 3–5 minutes).
04 - Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
05 - Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the flour mixture, mixing just until incorporated. Do not overmix.
06 - Gently fold in the crushed Biscoff biscuits and Lotus spread until evenly distributed.
07 - Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 35–40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
08 - Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
09 - For the frosting, beat the softened butter until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar on low speed.
10 - Beat in the Lotus spread, heavy cream (or milk), and a pinch of salt. Mix on medium-high speed for 3 minutes until fluffy and creamy. Adjust with more cream or milk if too thick.
11 - Once the cake is completely cool, frost the top (and sides, if desired) with the Lotus frosting. Decorate with extra crushed Biscoff biscuits or a drizzle of Lotus spread if desired. Slice and serve.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The texture alone is worth it, with those surprise crunchy biscuit bits suspended in buttery vanilla sponge
  • The frosting tastes like eating cookie butter straight from the jar but somehow even better
02 -
  • Room temperature ingredients cannot be skipped or your cake will curdle and sink in the middle
  • Overmixing after adding flour develops gluten and makes the texture tough instead of tender
03 -
  • If frosting is too stiff, add cream one teaspoon at a time until spreadable
  • Place your cake pan on a baking sheet to catch any potential overflow
