*Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links. To learn more, please go here.This cookie butter cake is lovely in flavor and everyone will absolutely love it! It's made with biscoff cookies and a homemade cookie butter filling. The cake layers are soft with lovely bits of cookie pieces spread throughout and the spiced filling makes it all come together with a thin layer of simple buttercream.If you don't want to make homemade cookie butter than that is completely ok. You can always go to your local grocery store and buy a small tub of cookie butter that is available and ready to go for you. But I do suggest getting a package of the biscoff cookies too so you can add it into the batter. You can also use the cookies to decorate the cake as well or just enjoy it as a little snack while you make this cookie butter cake too!

Above are some products that I personally use and recommend for this recipe and to have for everyday use. Whenever I make a cake I will always use 6-inch cake pans. Growing up my mom didn't like having huge cakes in the fridge because no one would really eat it besides myself. That's when I came into the habit of making a smaller size layer cake instead which serves 8-10 people.
