Ingredients

Cake

350g Self-raising flour
200g Caster sugar
100g Light brown sugar
6 Biscoff biscuits crushed
300ml Soya milk + 1tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
140g Vegan butter melted
1tsp Cinnamon
2tsp Baking soda
1tsp Salt
Buttercream
350g Vegan butter
70-100g Biscoff spread
400g Icing sugar

Biscoff drip

150g Biscoff spread, melted
Biscoff biscuits on top

Method

✿Preheat the oven to 180℃ and grease and line x2 8 inch cake tins with baking paper. 
✿Melt the butter in the microwave then leave to cool. Mix together the soya milk with the ACV and leave to curdle to create a 'buttermilk'. 
✿In a separate large bowl, combine flour, sugar, biscuits, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Create a well in the middle and mix in the butter and soya milk until all combined being careful not to over mix it. Alternatively you can use an electric mixer. 
✿Pour the cake batter into the prepared tins and bake in the oven for 25 minutes or until a knife inserted comes out clean. Leave to cool completely in the tins before removing. 
✿Meanwhile make the buttercream. Using an electric mixer, beat the butter until smooth and creamy then beat in the biscoff spread. Gradually add the icing sugar and mix until combined.

✿To assemble the cakes, spread or pipe the buttercream on to one of the cake layers - I then crumbled some biscoff biscuits on top of the buttercream - then place the other cake layer on top.

✿Pipe more buttercream on top and around the sides of the cake. 

✿To make the biscoff drip, simply melt the biscoff spread in the microwave for about 30 seconds until fluid - not too much as it won't hold its shape. Use a spoon or a piping bag to encourage the biscoff to drip down the sides - this might come with practise but just go for it it will look great!

✿Pipe more buttercream on top for the swirls and then top with biscoff biscuits. You could even drizzle some biscoff spread on top too. Enjoy!
