Biscoff Gooey Butter Cake
Let’s pretend you didn’t just spend the last few days stuffing your face with turkey, mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie. Let’s pretend you didn’t drink too much wine on Thursday. Let’s pretend you didn’t eat pie for breakfast on Friday, and that you didn’t eat leftovers twice on Friday.
Why would we do such a thing? Because we all know that was exactly the case – at least it was for me. But for one more day, let’s pretend that calories don’t really count, and that we can eat dessert for breakfast.
Even though I need nothing even resembling cake today, this one is totally and completely worth it because we are talking about Biscoff spread meets gooey butter cake. I might as well have died and gone to heaven.Classic, yellow cake on bottom (from scratch) combined with a creamy-cream cheese layer on top full of powdered sugar and – you guessed it – lots of creamy Biscoff spread.
It’s no secret that I have a deep affinity for this stuff. And when Kristan asked me if I would be willing to do a guest post for her after her baby girl Lucy was born, I started thinking Biscoff. From there, my thought process went to Kristan and her knack for coming up with new ways to enjoy old favorites, which is where the idea for gooey butter cake came into play. I was immediately convinced that this would be a perfect combination and I couldn’t wait to share it. The Biscoff adds a cinnamon & caramel-y twist to the traditional gooey butter. I had one piece, took the pan to work, and by 10 am that morning, the whole pan was gone. I’m going to go ahead and guess they liked this one. But that’s just a guess.
Head on over to Confessions of a Cookbook Queen for the recipe, and make sure and tell Kristan and sweet baby Lucy “hi”!
ahh yum!! this sounds & looks perfect! p.s. never to much cake in my opinion!
Aaah Cassie you’ve outdone yourself yet again! This cake looks SO delicious!
Classic yellow butter cake AND biscoff AND cream cheese and I know you made the cake from scratch – Cassie, awesome job!
How could you do this to me, Cassie?! 😉 Absolutely in love with this cake!!
Of course the whole pan was gone, who in their right pajamas would not like this?? Not me…
I totally stuffed my face all weekend but that definitely won’t stop me from making this and devouring the entire pan! How can I ever deny something involving biscoff?!
These looks amazing Cassie!
You had me at Biscoff! This looks so good! 🙂
Such a tempting cake!
I think it’s fate that I make this recipe! I bought some biscoff spread in Bruges this weekend as I’d read so much about it but you can’t get it easily where I live! these look so tasty!
Okay! Let’s totally do that. In fact…let’s do that thru the new year 🙂
I cannot get over this. Oh my gosh!
I’ve never had gooey butter cake, but if I’m going to do it, I think Biscoff is definitely the way to go! This looks amazing Cassie!
Do wha??? This looks AH-mazing Cassie! Can’t wait to whip this up!
Great cake, and great guest post!! This sounds amazing, you know I love anything with Biscoff!

Seriously. I haven’t stopped thinking about it. I made a list, just thinking on it now. 🙂
I’ve never made butter cake. And now I think I have to!
YES! Thank you for making a from scratch gooey butter cake! I hate it when I find that something is made with a mix. Just because I don’t have access to them and I’m jealous. Going to go check it out!
Oh yum! I’m going to do as you said and forget about all of the turkey and pie and wine I consumed a few days ago because this looks amazing!
I love the way the top looks…it’s swooney!!
You’ve outDONE yourself, lady! I am now officially craving Biscoff Butter Cake!!
Good mercy. I’m off to get the recipe.
Oh man why is Biscoff so amazing?! I could eat an entire pan of these, despite all I ate this weekend! It looks incredible 🙂
I can just imagine making these and then letting the kids decorate the tops for Christmas. They sounds fantastic!
I am in total love! Yum!
Yummmmm…I love everything about this. Definite breakfast food.
oh girl, no you DIDN’T!!! Loving loving loving this Cassie! You know, my sister lives in St. Louis and she ALWAYS makes gooey butter cake for Christmas when she comes. It’s… umm… not the healthiest thing out there but man is it AMAZING. I have to send her this recipe. Now my stomach is growling for some gooey butta 🙂
I’m definitely alright with dessert for breakfast again…mostly because Biscoff is involved. You make the best recipes with this stuff!
Sounds like we were on the same eating/drinking road the past few days! Is there anything better than pie for breakfast!? Um… Besides this cake. Because this looks incredible!
I saw this on Kristan’s site and wow, it looks SO awesome Cassie!!
Oh man!!!
The texture of these beauts is amazing! I can just imagine how gooey and delicious they are! LOVE 🙂
I need this in my life.
You’ve out done yourself on this one, too good!
These look so incredibly moist and flavorful! Will be adding them to my Christmas lineup of sweets. Thank you!
Wow this sounds amazing. I just had a gooey butter cake at a restaurant and was planning on trying it at home… and I love the addition of biscoff!
I haven’t purchased Biscoff in quite awhile because it is dangerous for me to have it in the house! But this cake, may just be the reason that I “need” to buy a jar!
Oh, the things you do with biscoff! This is just pure heaven!
I will have you know that I absolutely, positively did not eat pie for breakfast on Friday! I waited until brunch… 😉 Now, I have to go see about this butter cake…
The title itself is yummy! I like the flaky layer on top. Heading over to see the recipe!
oh heavens.

i have created so much with it and now this.
