Preheat the oven at 170ºC conventional oven and prepare 3 x 20 cm baking pan with parchment paper.

In a mixing bowl, use the paddle attachment, add the butter, vegetable oil, and granulated sugar and mix it on high speed for 3 min.

Scape down the sides of the bowl and add the eggs one at a time into the mixture and mix it in until combined.

Add the sour cream and mix until combined.

Continue by alternating between adding ⅓ of the flour mixture and ½ of the milk mixture, ending on the flour mixture. Mix in each addition until just combined.

Divide the cake batter into the 3 prepared 20 cm baking tins and bake them for 24-27 min or until a cake tester comes out clean.

Let the cakes cool on a cooling rack. After 10 min, gently remove the cake from the cake tin and let the cakes cool down completely.

While the layer cakes cool down. In a large bowl using a hand or stand mixer with the whisk attachment, mix together the butter, powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy, for 3 minutes.

Then, in a bowl melt together the chocolate, corn syrup and heavy cream together in the microwave for 30-40 seconds. Stir it together until combined.

Add the chocolate to the butter and mix it together until smooth. At this point the frosting will have a thinner texture, therefore place the bowl in the fridge, covering the frosting with cling film. Let it chill and thicken for 1 hour. Stir the frosting every once in a while to make sure it chills evenly.

By the time the cake has cooled, the frosting should be thickened and spreadable, it should be around room temperature. If it’s too thick, let it sit at room temperature and it'll become more spreadable.

Place the first cake layer on your serving dish or cake board on your turntable. If you don’t have a turntable, don’t worry, you can easily decorate the cake without it.

Add 100 g of Biscoff cookie spread on the cake layer and with an offset spatula, even it out. Add a bit of the chocolate buttercream to a piping bag and pipe a border around the top of the cake and a bit top of the cookie spread. Cover the cookie spread with the buttercream and even it out.

Add the next sponge layer and do the same as the previous layer. Then add the final cake layer and cover the cake in a thin crumb coat. Place it in the freezer for 20 min, for the buttercream to set.

Add the remaining buttercream, and spread it out in an even layer. Scape down the sides of the cake to get smooth sides on the cake. Place it back in the freezer for 10 min.

Meanwhile, melt 150 g Biscoff spread and let it cool while the cake is in the freezer. Then take the cake out of the freezer and add the melted Biscoff spread and let it drip over the sides of the cake. Finish the cake, with decorating with extra Biscoff cookies.
