Instructions
Psst… yes, you can use a vanilla cake mix if you’re really short on time. Just fold in the Biscoff and thank me later.
1. Preheat & Prep
Set your oven to 350°F and line a cupcake pan with 12 liners. Give yourself a little high five—you’re about to make magic.
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside like a boss.
3. Cream the Butter & Sugars
In a large bowl, beat softened butter with granulated and brown sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then vanilla. This is where your kitchen starts smelling like a bakery.
4. Combine Wet & Dry
Add in the sour cream (or Greek yogurt), milk, and the glorious Biscoff spread. Mix until just combined, then slowly fold in the dry mixture.
5. Fill & Bake
Scoop batter into your cupcake liners, about ⅔ full. Bake 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely before filling.
6. Core & Fill
Once cool, gently scoop out a bit of the center from each cupcake (use a spoon, knife, or cupcake corer if you’re fancy). Fill with warm Biscoff spread for that gooey surprise.
7. Make the Biscoff Buttercream
Beat butter and Biscoff spread until creamy. Add powdered sugar a cup at a time, then cream/milk, vanilla, and salt. Beat until fluffy and irresistible.
8. Frost & Devour
Pipe or spread that dreamy frosting on your filled cupcakes. Top with Biscoff cookie crumbs if you’re feelin’ extra.
Notes
If you’re baking for a crowd, double the recipe—you’ll regret only making one batch. And keep an eye on the oven at the 18-minute mark; every oven’s personality is different (just like toddlers).
