Behind the Recipe

It all started with my love for those little Biscoff cookies they hand out on flights. Something about that toasty caramel flavor always made me feel cozy and nostalgic. So one day, I decided to bottle up that feeling into a cake. The result? A Bundt cake that tastes like the best parts of fall mornings, holiday cheer, and warm hugs from your kitchen.

Recipe Origin or Trivia

Biscoff, short for “biscuit + coffee,” originated in Belgium, where these speculoos cookies were traditionally served with coffee. They became a hit internationally, especially in the US, thanks to airlines. Eventually, Lotus introduced a creamy spread version of their cookies — and it’s been a pantry staple ever since. Bundt cakes, with their distinctive ring shape and ridged edges, originated from European kugelhopf molds and became a mid-century American classic. Putting the two together? Genius, if we do say so ourselves.
