Vegan Biscoff Cake! – Jane’s Patisserie

A two-layer scrumptious chocolate cake, with biscoff buttercream, biscoff ornament and extra… the proper vegan biscoff cake!

It’s been some time since I posted a vegan bake, and I do know that should change… so right here is among the greatest muffins I’ll in all probability make ever, a vegan biscoff cake! 

I’ve just a few scrumptious bakes up to now; my vegan biscoff cupcakes and my vegan chocolate cake all the time get rave evaluations and I don’t know why I didn’t simply consider combining the each collectively! 

Truthfully, simply take a look at this bake – it’s heavenly. All of that chunky scrumptious chocolate cake topped with a silky clean frosting, and all of the biscoff I might muster on the time. YUM. 

Cake

An everyday cake is often eggs, flour, butter and sugar. Sadly that doesn’t fairly work with vegan baking in my books! I attempted endlessly laborious to create a bake with as few substances doable, and/or as straightforward to purchase substances… and this vegan biscoff cake is it! 

• Flour – As a lot with traditional bakes, I exploit self elevating flour for this cake. It makes it delicately gentle and scrumptious.
• Cocoa powder – most cocoa powders are vegan naturally, however it’s all the time value checking – the stronger the higher in my view. 
• Sugar – to get a scrumptious flavour, I exploit gentle brown smooth sugar – I discover it really works greatest with vegan bakes! You should utilize darkish brown smooth sugar although, caster sugar and even golden caster sugar for this one. 
• Elevating brokers – the elevating brokers on this bake range fairly a smidge to a daily cake; baking powder, bicarb and white wine vinegar. The bicarb and vinegar react collectively to create the very best texture. 
• Milk – My favorite vegan milk to make use of in baking is almond – it’s the dairy free milk I drink essentially the most as nicely! You should utilize oat or soya although pretty much as good options. 
• Oil – I change up and alter between sunflower oil and vegetable oil, they each work tremendous nicely! You need to keep away from olive oil or comparable nonetheless although as they will have a style. 
• Flavouring – I used vanilla extract as a result of I like the flavour in amongst bakes, as you might be all nicely conscious of now haha! 

Buttercream

The buttercream is so easy, and all it requires from a daily buttercream is swapping the dairy unsalted butter to a vegan various! There’s a trick to this although as some are much better than others. 

As unsalted butter that accommodates dairy is a really agency ingredient, you need a dairy free various that’s as agency as doable – my favorite in the intervening time is flora plant butter. 

Combine the butter by itself, whack within the icing sugar and blend, after which add the biscoff. You need to keep away from including any liquid as you don’t need the buttercream to melt an excessive amount of (which is a danger because the butters are naturally softer). 

Ornament

Ornament on a cake like that is fully as much as you and what you need to do! I made a decision to pipe the buttercream onto my muffins as a result of it made it look fairly, however you’ll be able to slather it on with a spatula when you needed, or do a unique fashion of piping. 

I layered the cake with buttercream, then added some melted Biscoff Unfold, biscuits and sprinkles to the highest of the cake. I melted my biscoff within the microwave in 10 second bursts till it was runny, and simply drizzled it on with a spoon – nothing valuable. 

If you happen to needed to stage up the ornament you possibly can do no matter you need – however I like this cake the best way it’s! 

Ideas and Methods

When you’re mixing this cake combination, you actually don’t need to overmix it. I simply use a bowl and a hand whisk, no electrics in sight. If you happen to over combine the combination, it might make the cake dense which we don’t need. For the buttercream nonetheless, and electrical mixer is all the time simpler. 

If you happen to can’t have alcohol you need to use lemon juice as a substitute for the vinegar, however greatest outcomes actually do come from utilizing a white wine vinegar, and even apple cider vinegar. 

Biscuits do naturally soften in the event that they’re positioned on a cake, so if that is one thing you might be fussy about, put them on final minute!
