If you love desserts with a rich caramel flavor and a hint of spice, a Biscoff cake is about to become your new favorite treat. 

Featuring the iconic Belgian cookies and the indulgent cookie butter spread, this cake has taken over social media and coffee shops, and the best part? It’s a no-bake recipe that’s incredibly easy to make at home.

The sweet history behind Biscoff

The signature flavor of Biscoff cake comes from Lotus Biscoff cookies, first baked in 1932 by Jan Boone Sr. in Lembeke, Belgium. A combination of the words biscuit and coffee, “Biscoff” was created as the perfect cookie to pair with your favorite brew.

Over the years, the cookie’s popularity has grown steadily around the world, thanks not only to viral dessert recipes but also to official collaborations with major coffee chains like Starbucks and Dunkin’, which have introduced Biscoff-flavored drinks and snacks. With the launch of Biscoff spread (also known as cookie butter), it’s easier than ever to bring that signature spiced caramel flavor into your own kitchen.
