What you’ll need

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup Biscoff spread
• 1 cup powdered sugar (for buttercream)
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter (for buttercream)
• 1/4 cup Biscoff spread (for buttercream)
• Milk (as needed for buttercream)

Helpful notes:

• You can substitute the milk with almond milk for a dairy-free version.
• Make sure your butter is softened to room temperature for easy mixing.
• For an extra touch, consider adding crushed Biscoff cookies on top of the frosting.

Directions to follow

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
2. Cream together 1/2 cup softened unsalted butter and 1 cup sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 to 4 minutes.
3. Add 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
4. In another bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups flour and 1 tablespoon baking powder.
5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter-sugar-egg mix, alternating with 1/2 cup milk. Mix until just combined.
6. Spoon the batter into the prepared liners, filling each about 2/3 full. Make a small indentation in the center of each and fill it with 1/2 teaspoon of Biscoff spread.
7. Bake for 18-20 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool for about 5 minutes in the tin before transferring to a wire rack.
8. For the buttercream, beat together 1/2 cup softened butter, 1 cup powdered sugar, and 1/4 cup Biscoff spread until smooth. Add milk as needed to reach desired consistency.
9. Once cupcakes are cool, frost them generously with the Biscoff buttercream and enjoy!

Best ways to enjoy it

These Biscoff cupcakes are perfect on their own or served alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream. For a festive touch, sprinkle some crushed Biscoff cookies on top of the frosting. They also make a great treat with a cup of coffee or tea, perfect for a cozy afternoon break.

Storage and reheating tips

To keep your Biscoff cupcakes fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze them for up to 3 months. Just be sure to thaw them at room temperature before enjoying. If you need to reheat them, pop them in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds to bring back their moist texture.

Helpful cooking tips

• Avoid overmixing the batter; this can lead to dense cupcakes.
• Ensure that all your ingredients are at room temperature for the best mixing result.
• Experiment with different toppings like chocolate shavings or caramel drizzle for a unique twist.

Creative twists

• Try adding a dash of cinnamon to the batter for added warmth.
• Replace some of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for a healthier version.
• You can swap out the Biscoff spread for other flavored spreads like Nutella or peanut butter to create different flavor profiles.

Common questions

• Can I make it ahead? Yes, you can prepare the batter and refrigerate it overnight. Just let it sit at room temperature for a bit before baking.
• Can I freeze it? Yes, these cupcakes freeze well! Make sure to store them in airtight containers.
• Can I substitute an ingredient? You can use a plant-based butter and milk alternatives for a dairy-free version.
• Why did mine turn out dry/wet? If your cupcakes are dry, try not to overbake them. If they’re too wet, ensure you’re measuring ingredients accurately.
• How long does it last? They last for about 3 days at room temperature or 3 months in the freezer.
