Ingredients
Cake Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅓ cup Biscoff cookie spread
- ⅓ cup milk
- ¼ cup vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping Ingredients
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Biscoff cookie spread
- 4-5 Biscoff cookies for decoration
Instructions
- Prepare Cake Pan: Cut parchment paper to fit the bottom of a 6-inch cake pan and lightly grease the sides to prevent sticking.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 3 minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine Biscoff cookie spread, milk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until the batter is smooth and uniform.
- Combine Batter: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix for a tender crumb.
- Prepare for Air Frying: Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and tap gently to release any air bubbles for an even texture.
- Air Fry the Cake: Place the cake pan in the air fryer basket. Cook at 350°F for 30 to 40 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
- Cool the Cake: Remove the pan and allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, remove the cake from the pan and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Prepare the Topping: Beat softened cream cheese until smooth using a mixer or whisk.
- Add Biscoff Spread to Topping: Mix in 2 tablespoons of Biscoff cookie spread until well combined with the cream cheese.
- Whip Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form for a light, fluffy texture.
- Fold in Whipped Cream: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese and Biscoff mixture until fully incorporated without deflating the cream.
- Assemble Cake: Spread the prepared topping evenly over the cooled cake surface.
- Decorate: Arrange 4 to 5 whole Biscoff cookies on top of the cake for decoration and added crunch.
- Chill Before Serving: Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld and the topping set before serving.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to prevent lumps in the topping.
- You can substitute vegetable oil with melted butter for a richer flavor.
- Check the cake starting at 30 minutes to avoid overbaking, as air fryer models vary in heat intensity.
- Use a 6-inch cake pan that fits comfortably inside your air fryer basket for best results.
- For easier removal, line the cake pan with parchment paper before greasing.
