Ingredients

• • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp of baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp of baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp of salt
  • 1 cup of granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1 tsp of pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup of buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup of hot water

For the Biscoff Buttercream:

• 1 cup of unsalted butter, softened
• 1.5 cups of powdered sugar
• 1 cup of Biscoff cookie butter
• 2-3 tbsp of heavy cream
• 1 tsp of pure vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin pan with cupcake liners.
2. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside these dry ingredients.
3. In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until it becomes light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, and continue to beat. It’s time to stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Stir in the hot water until the cupcake batter is smooth.
5. Fill each liner about 2/3 full and bake for 20-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the cupcakes comes out clean.
6. While the cupcakes are cooling, we can move on to the Biscoff buttercream. First, beat the butter until it’s creamy. Gradually add in the powdered sugar, then beat in the cookie butter. Finally, add in the heavy cream and vanilla extract, beat until fluffy.
7. Once your cupcakes have completely cooled, frost them with the Biscoff buttercream. For a clean and professional look, use a piping bag with a star tip.
