Ingredients
For the Cake:
- 200 grams all-purpose flour
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 200 grams unsalted butter, softened
- 4 large eggs
- 50 grams unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- A pinch of salt
- 150 milliliters strong, chilled coffee
- 100 milliliters milk
For the Lotus Biscoff Cream Filling:
- 400 grams Lotus Biscoff spread
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
Preparing the Cake:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease and flour a rectangular baking pan measuring approximately 30x20 cm.
- Cream together the softened butter and sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Alternately add the dry ingredients and the wet ingredients (coffee and milk) to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. 6. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Assembling the Cake:
- Once the cake is completely cool, carefully cut it horizontally into two equal layers.
- Generously spread a layer of Lotus Biscoff spread over the bottom half of the cake.
- Place the top layer of cake on top of the Lotus Biscoff filling, creating a sandwich.
- Dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar for a finishing touch.
Tips for Perfection
- For a more intense coffee flavor, use cold-brew coffee instead of regular brewed coffee.
- To enhance the richness, you can add a tablespoon of instant espresso powder to the dry ingredients.
- For a fudgier cake, increase the baking time by a few minutes.
- To prevent the cake from drying out, store it in an airtight container at room temperature.
- For a more dramatic presentation, pipe the Lotus Biscoff cream in decorative swirls or patterns.
