At the heart of this divine Lotus Biscoff loaf cake recipe is the soft and moist Biscoff-flavoured sponge, with cinnamon and caramel notes infused into every delightful crumb.
How to make Biscoff Loaf Cake
To make it, you'll start by creaming butter and light soft brown sugar together, then you'll whisk in smooth Biscoff spread, eggs and milk before folding in some self-raising flour.
Your batter will then be ready to spoon into a lined loaf tin and bake, at which point, you kitchen will smell AMAZING.
To elevate your Lotus Biscoff loaf to sheer perfection, you'll then adorn it with luscious Biscoff buttercream.
Make this creamy and rich frosting is a one-step process. You'll simply measure Biscoff spread, butter, icing sugar and a splash of milk into a large bowl and whisk until you have a velvety smooth and light Biscoff buttercream.
I like to pipe my Biscoff buttercream in rosettes on top of the Biscoff loaf as it looks really pretty, but if you want to simply spread it with a palette knife or the back of a spoon in tempting swirls, that will look great too!
You'll then scatter Biscoff cookie pieces on top and drizzle a little Biscoff spread to complete this delightful ode to the iconic Biscoff cookies.
Why make a loaf cake?!
When I want to make a cake that's ideal for transporting, I reckon a loaf cake is the perfect option. As long as you put a strip of baking paper in the tin to allow you to lift it out later, you can even store the cake in the loaf tin you made it in!
And the loaf shape also makes it easy to slice and serve, so I really think this Lotus Biscoff loaf cake is the perfect recipe for sharing with friends and family or taking on the go.
How to serve this Biscoff loaf cake
Serve it on its own with a good cup of coffee, or level up by serving it with a drizzle of cream or caramel, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
If you're a devoted Biscoff lover, this cake is an absolute must-try! It captures the essence of the iconic cookie, giving you an opportunity to indulge in your favourite flavours in a whole new way.

- 2 large free range eggs beaten
- 125 g (⅓ cup + 2tbsp) Lotus Biscoff Spread smooth
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 150 g (1 cup) self-raising white flour (self rising flour)

Step-By-Step Instructions
Make the Biscoff sponge
Grease and line a 2lb (900g) loaf tin and preheat the oven to 180C (160C fan-assisted / 350F).
Put the sugar and butter in a bowl.
Beat together until very pale and fluffy.
Add the eggs, Biscoff spread, milk and vanilla.
Beat in into everything is well combined.
Add the flour and salt.
Fold in until combined into a thick batter.
Spoon into the tin and gently level off.
Bake in the middle of the oven for 35-40 minutes, or until it's firm in the middle.
Cool in the tin on a wire rack.
Make the Biscoff frosting
Put the butter, icing sugar, salt, Biscoff spread and milk in a large bowl.
Whisk until pale and creamy.
Decorate your Biscoff loaf cake
Gently melt the biscoff spread using a 10 second burst in the microwave - you want it to loosen enough to drizzle, but you don’t want it to be warm or it will melt your frosting.
For the frosting, you can either spread it onto the cake with a palette knife, or you can transfer it to a piping bag fitted with an open star tip and pipe rosettes all over the cake.
Drizzle with melted Biscoff spread.
Crumble the Biscoff biscuits and scatter over the top.
Allow to set somewhere cool for 15 minutes before slicing to serve.
