Speculoos Cake: Gourmet Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
• 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 3/4 cup Speculoos cookie butter, at room temperature

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch cake pan with cooking spray or butter. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
3. Add the dry ingredients into the butter mixture, alternating with Greek yogurt in two additions. Stir until just combined. Fold in the Speculoos cookie butter until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
4. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Verdict

This Speculoos cake is a decadent and rich dessert that is perfect for entertaining guests. The added cookie butter gives the cake a delicious nutty and spicy flavor that pairs perfectly with a cup of coffee or tea.

Serving Suggestions

Serve the Speculoos cake warm with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. Alternatively, dust the top with powdered sugar and serve with a side of fresh berries or sliced fruit.
