WHY THIS RECIPE WORKS

Biscoff buttercream: The most luscious Biscoff buttercream. It is full of Biscoff spread to maximize the flavor.

Showstopper: These Biscoff cupcakes are so easy to make and true showstopper.

INGREDIENT NOTES

These are some of the key ingredients for this recipe. For a full list of ingredients, check out the recipe card below.

Biscoff spread: The Lotus Biscoff spread is used in the cupcakes, buttercream and on top of the cupcakes.
All-purpose flour: Gives a light and airy cupcake. I prefer using all-purpose flour with a protein amount that is between 10-11%
Sugars: The granulated sugar helps sweeten, as well as give moister to the cake. The brown sugar helps add extra toffee flavor to the cake.
Baking powder and baking soda: Help leaven and rise the cupcakes, so they have a light and fluffy texture.
Salt: Helps enhance the flavor of the cupcakes.
Eggs: Take the eggs out of the fridge 30 minutes to 1 hours before baking (depending how warm your kitchen is).
Sour Cream: Sour cream makes for softer and more tender cupcakes. Measure out the sour cream and let it come to room temperature 30 minutes to 1 hours before baking (depending how warm your kitchen is).
Vegetable oil: Use a flavor neutral oil, such as canola or avocado oil.

STEP BY STEP INSTRUCTIONS

Here is how to make and bake these Biscoff Cupcakes. This recipe needs two bowl, a hand whisk and a electric mixer.

The full recipe is down below in the recipe card.

Before starting preheat the oven to 160ºC/ 320ºF conventional oven. Line a 12-cup cupcake pan lined with cupcake paper liners.

STEP 1: In a large mixing bowl, add all of the dry ingredients. Give it a stir to make sure everything has been combined. In another mixing bowl add the sour cream and Biscoff spread and mix them together. Then add milk, vegetable oil, eggs and vanilla extract and mix it all together until combined.

STEP 2: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and gently stir it all together. Make sure there are no lumps left in the batter. Divide the cake batter into the 12 cupcake liners and bake them for 20-23 minutes. Let the cupcakes cool in the hot pan. After 5 minutes, gently remove the cupcakes from the cupcake pan and let them cool down completely on a cooling rack.

STEP 3: For the buttercream, mix the butter until light and fluffy in a stand mixer with the paddle attachment or with a hand mixer on medium/high speed. Then add the Biscoff spread and mix it.

STEP 4: Add the powdered sugar, vanilla extract and milk in 2 parts. Mix on low speed until each addition is fully incorporated.

STEP 5: Add the Biscoff buttercream to a piping bag with a round piping tip e.g. a Wilton 1A. Then pipe the buttercream on the cupcakes, creating a small concave with the buttercream.

STEP 6: Pour melted Biscoff spread into the middle of the buttercream, using a spoon and drizzle with any excess over the cupcakes. Optionally, decorate the cupcakes with Biscoff cookie crumbs.

EXPERT BAKING TIPS

Use a kitchen scale: My default setting for my recipes is grams. It is the most precise way of measuring out your ingredients, I therefore highly recommend using a kitchen scale.
Don't over mix your batter: I always use a spatula after everything has mixed together, to give it one final gentle fold together. This makes sure everything in the bottom of the mixing bowl has been mixed into the batter.
Light vs. dark baking pans: For the best result, use an aluminum baking pan, greased with butter and lined with baking paper in the bottom. Aluminum pans are light in color and therefore attract less heat. That means it bakes more gently which results in a softer cake. If you use a black baking pan it'll attract a lot more heat. That will then give a darker crust, which can result in a dryer cake.

FAQ

Can they be made into mini cupcakes?

Yes, follow the recipe and bake them for 8-10 minutes or until cake tester comes out clean.

Can it be made a day ahead?

Store the unfrosted cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 days, and unused frosting in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. When ready to pip the buttercream on the cupcakes, let the frosting come to room temperature before giving is stir to remove the air bubbles. Then pip the frosting on the cupcakes and they are ready to be enjoyed.

When do you know when a cake layer is done?

I recommend using a cake tester or toothpick. Once the time has passed, per the recipe, insert the cake tester in the middle of one of the cupcakes and once it comes out clean, with no cake batter on it, they are done.

HOW TO STORE

Store the frosted Biscoff Cupcakes in an airtight container in the fridge. Let them come to room temperature before eating. They are best enjoyed within 1-2 days.
