What is Biscoff and what does it taste like?

Biscoff spread is made of Speculoos Biscuits which have a caramel flavour with warming spices such as cinnamon, ginger, clove and ginger. It tastes similar to gingerbread.

INGREDIENTS and Substitutions 

Butter - We use unsalted at room temperature here. It gives you more control over the salt content in the batter. The butter needs to be soft help it 

Sugar - I use a combination of caster sugar (super fine sugar) and light brown sugar for a super moist sponge and caramel like flavour.

Eggs - Free range large eggs at room temperature are best.

Smooth Biscoff Spread - Or any speculoos spread. Melt it slightly in the microwave first so it incorporates fully into the batter.

Self Raising Flour - If you prefer you can use Plain Flour or All Purpose Flour too. If you do use it, add 2 teaspoon Baking Powder to the batter.

Salt - We add a pinch to bring out the sweetness of the other ingredients.

For the Cream Cheese Frosting -

Icing sugar – Or confectioners sugar. There is no substitute for it but if you don’t have it and only have granulated or caster sugar, blend till it becomes super fine.

Biscoff spread – We use smooth Biscoff spread here.

Biscoff Biscuits - You can use any Speculoos Biscuits in this recipe.
