About the bake
Calling all Biscoff fans! This Biscoff cupcake recipe is a real game changer. Soft vanilla cupcake topped and filled with a beautifully light Biscoff buttercream, this recipe is definitely one you will want to save and bake time and time again.
Method
Step 1:
Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan, gas 4). Line a cupcake tin with 12 paper cupcake cases.
Step 2:
Beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually add in the eggs, baking powder, flour and vanilla extract and beat until fully combined.
Step 3:
Spoon the mixture into the cupcake cases filling each of them 2/3 full.
Step 4:
Bake for 20-25 minutes until the cupcakes are golden and springy to touch.
Step 5:
Whilst the cupcakes are baking make the buttercream by beating together the butter, icing sugar, milk and Biscoff spread. The longer that you beat the buttercream the lighter and fluffier it becomes.
Step 6:
When the cupcakes have cooled fully use a small sharp knife or an apple corer to carve out the centre of the sponge of each cupcake. Fill a piping bag with a large star nozzle and the Biscoff buttercream. Pipe a small amount into the centre of each cake then top with the remaining sponge that you had removed.
Step 7:
To finish your cupcakes, pipe swirls of the buttercream on to the top of each cupcake. For an extra touch add a Lotus biscuit on top of the buttercream.

Recipe Reviews
Biscoff buttercream is amazing!
I found the cream tastes more of butter than lotus spread. Will be looking for a different topping. Measurements also slightly off for the cupcake base.
Don’t think this is the best lotus recipe.
Do you have any nutritional information for the recipes?
This recipe is good but I wasted so much butter cream because it says it serves 12 but it does NOT !!!!
fabulous recipe but with the biscuit finish what if you are baking them for an order how do these cupcake shops keep them from going stale ? is there a trick
just made these , the mix makes 24 not 12 not a issue , looks nice and the kids love them
