INGREDIENTS:
-2 Cups SOFT, UNSALTED BUTTER
-1.5 tsp CLEAR VANILLA 
-3-4 to 1 Cup HEAVY WHIPPING CREAM
-7 Cups POWDERED SUGAR (2 lb bag)


INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Cream the butter with the paddle attachment. Cream on medium/high speed for 2-5 minutes. (Until creamy peanut butter consistency)
   2. Add your vanilla extract to creamed butter. Combine and mix.
4. Turn your mixer to the lowest speed. Add in your entire measurement of powdered sugar to the mixer.
5. Start adding 1/4 Cup increments of heavy cream. I like to recommend only using the heavy cream AS NEEDED. After 1-2 measurements of cream, up the speed on your mixer to medium/high speed. (Do not add more than needed. If you add too much cream your frosting will become soupy.)
6. Once you have hit your desired consistency, take mixing bowl off of mixer, and mix frosting with a wooden spoon. (This will release any extra air bubbles from your frosting and smooth it out a bit more. It works magic!)


7. I use my frosting within a few hours of making it. To keep it fresh, put into airtight pastry bags, or an airtight container to keep soft. Frosting can be refrigerated or frozen for future use.

This cake was inspired by the one and only "Nutterbutter" Cookies. Those cookies were one of my favorite treats growing up, and I was really craving something along those lines this weekend. So I decided to take some of my all time favorite cake and frosting flavors and put them together to create something delicious. It turned out so yummy, and so I had to share it with you guys ASAP!
​

INGREDIENTS:

3/4 Cup Heavy Cream
1.5 Cups White Chocolate Chips
1 Tsp Vanilla extract

​
Instructions: 
-Boil the Heavy Cream in a small sauce pan
Once boiling, remove from heat.
-Pour your chocolate over the very hot Heavy Cream,
-Let cream and chocolate sit for 3-5 minutes before mixing.
-Mix until fully incorporated. Your ganache should become thicker the longer it sits and cools. So let it cool completely before using.

INGREDIENTS:
2 C Soft, Unsalted Butter 
1 1/2 C Creamy Peanut Butter
3 lbs Powdered Sugar 
1 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract 
1 C - 1 1/2 C Heavy Cream

Instructions: 

1. In a stand mixer, use your paddle attachment and cream your butter. Mix on medium/high speed for 2-3 minutes. Or until creamy. (Make sure there are no clumps) 
2. Once creamy, add in peanut butter. Mix until fully incorporated.
3. Turn mixer down to low speed and add in your vanilla extract
4. Add in all of your powdered sugar, let mix for about 1 minute. 
5. Scrape down bowl to make sure everything is incorporated. 
6. Add in your heavy cream and mix for about 5 minutes or until creamy. (Add cream AS NEEDED. Don’t use all of it if you don’t need it. Too much cream will make your frosting runny) 
7. Once fully mixed, take off stand mixer and mix your frosting with a wooden spoon and get out any extra air pockets and create a smooth creamy finish. 

-For this cake, I started with my frozen vanilla cake layers and filled those cake layers with my creamy peanut butter buttercream and white chocolate ganache. And for every other cake layer I also added some of my Vanilla Buttercream, and filled the center with peanut butter buttercream.
the Vanilla Buttercream is completely optional, but I feel it helped balance out the flavors well.

​-Here is the recipe for my VANILLA BUTTERCREAM just in case you would like to add that to your cake.

-For a bonus topper, you can crush up some “Nutterbutter” cookies and sprinkle those inside some of the cake layers. These cookies will soak into the frosting well, but some will stay crunchy to add a fun crunch to soft cake.

-After filling the cake layers, I crumb coated the cake (first layer of frosting) with the Peanut Butter Frosting

-Once you’ve applied the the first layer of frosting, place in freezer to allow the frosting to set and harden. This should take about 10-15 minutes.
-After this, I applied the rest of the White Chocolate Ganache for the final layer to coat the cake. I topped it with small rosettes made with the peanuts butter buttercream, and placed mini Nutterbutter cookies on every other one.

This was such a fun cake to create. I love my Chocolate Peanut Butter cake, and so switching it up and using the vanilla cake was a good change up. If you are a Peanut Butter fan, this is definitely a cake to try!

If you do end up trying this cake recipe, I would love to hear and see how it went for you! Tag me in your creations @theblondewhobakes on Instagram and TikTok.

This cake has been my most requested cake and recipe for the past 2 years.
Ever since I started making this flavor, I knew I had something special going with it. And so after 2 years of working with this recipe, I have finally decided it is good enough to share with you!

This cake is made with my super delicious and moist Vanilla Cake layers. Filled with Biscoff Cookie Butter, White Chocolate Ganache, Biscoff Buttercream and Biscoff Cookie Crumbs.

After filling the cake, I crumb coat the cake with the extra White Chocolate Ganache.

Freeze the cake with crumb coat for 30+ minutes.

After crumb coat has set, I will cover the cake with the Biscoff Buttercream.

Cover the base with Biscoff Cookie Crumbs.

Apply a Biscoff Cookie Butter Drip. Then place in freezer again for 15-30 minutes to help set the drip.

Once cake is cold and drip has set, I apply rosettes to the top of the cake with a Wilton 1M piping tip and the Biscoff Cookie Buttercream. And for the final effect, I break Biscoff Cookies in between each rosette.
​
For a little something extra, sprinkle some Biscoff Cookie crumbs over the top and you’ve got yourself a very delicious and beautiful “Biscoff Cookie Butter Cake”.

I know you are just here for the recipe, so let’s get to it!

-In the bowl of an electric mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and the sugar for 3 to 5 minutes on medium-high speed.

-Pour cake batter into each of the prepared three 6”cake pans. Or 2 8” pans. Level out all the batter in each pan.

-Place in over to bake at 325°F for 32-36 minutes.

-To check doneness, you can touch the top of the cake very lightly. If it stays firm and holds it shaped, almost bounces back, your cake is done.

-You can also insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If comes out with a few moist crumbs on it. Let cool in the pans for about 15-20 minutes and then remove from cake plans and place cake on cake board.

-Place cake layers in the freezer for 4-6 hours.

-After cold and solid, it’s time to decorate!

​Extra Information about this cake:

For an added Biscoff Flavor experience, I recommend using the Biscoff Cookie Butter as another filling to the cake along with the White Chocolate Ganache, Biscoff Buttercream and Biscoff Cookie Crumbs.
​So when you prep for this cake, I recommend you get 3- 14oz containers of the Biscoff Cookie Butter.

Once you have layered your cake with those delicious fillings and frostings, freeze your cake after your final coat of frosting,
Once your cake is cold again, apply a Biscoff Cookie Butter Drip, and Biscoff Crumbs at the base. Freeze again to set the drip, freeze until it is not sticky anymore.
Take out of freezer and apply rosettes with your Biscoff Buttercream. And top off the design with some Biscoff Cookies.


If you’d like to see how I put this cake together, I have it linked on this post to my Instagram and TikTok pages.

Brownies were the first thing I ever made in the kitchen with my mom and grandma over 30 years ago now. Back then, it was a simple brownie box mix to keep it simple for me, but I just remember that every Sunday, we would always make brownies and that was my job. It was something I always looked forward to, and when I was finished mixing the batter I would purposefully “forget” to put all of the batter in the pan to bake… I would save myself some extra batter to lick off the spoon and that was almost better than eating the fully baked brownies.
Today, they are still one of my favorite things to make and eat. My 3 kids now help me in my kitchen, and lick the spoon just like I used to so many years ago when I was growing up.

I am sharing my favorite fudgy/chewy brownie recipe.
