Biscoff Mug Cake

Posted by Megan / 26 comments » / Baking, Dessert, Recipes

Where in the name of all that is holy has Biscoff spread been all my life? I’ve maintained an every present stance that Nutella is the ruler of the nut spread world – and it is and will forever remain. But. BUT! In the land of cookie spreads – Biscoff is king. Carbs pureed into cream that you spread over toasted carbs? This is the very meaning of life for a carb-oholic Czech girl!

For this recipe – I wanted to do something with Biscoff besides eat it straight out of the jar with a spoon. Not that I didn’t do that before hand, but with the rest of the jar I actually did make something with it – cake.

I found a recipe on Pinterest for a Nutella Mug Cake and resolved myself to make it. And I intend too. But for now, I wanted to shake it up a bit with Biscoff instead. And hot damn, my world has tilted on it’s axis.

So in 10 minutes you can nuke yourself a cake and change your life and those of the people you love. One mug of cake at a time.

Into each mug you wish to make, pour in all of your ingredients, whisk together and nuke for 3-4 minutes (depending on your microwave.) Easy flippin’ peasy.

Include into each mug – 4 Tbsp Self-rising flour*, 3 Tbsp. sugar, 1 egg, 3 Tbsp Bicoff Spread, 3 Tbsp Milk, and 3 Tbsp Veggie Oil.

Looks delish in this state, huh? Oh I know it looks nast-eh but in about 30 seconds of whisking it will start to look like a real cake batter and positively golden and delicious.

There ya go. Much better. Now, into the micro – nuke for 2-3 minutes or until set and Whammy! Dessert!

Eat it straight outta the mug with a little extra Biscoff on top, or plopp’er on a plate so it looks a little more dressed up. Ish.

It’s rich, and so worth the loosening of your belt.

*Self-rising Flour* – If you don’t have any, you can make some at home with 1 cup All Purpose Flour, 1 1/4 tsp Baking Powder and a pinch of salt all whisked together.

    This is the second time I’ve heard of this Biscoff recently. Where does this devil spread in a jar come from? It looks amazing! Thank God I’ve never seen it in the store. ;-)

    Would you believe I’ve never had Biscoff? I spied some at my grocery store and made a mental note… probably so I can make these mug cakes!

      I hope you like it :) And try to resist all urges to eat it entirely straight out of the jar. I kinda went a little nuts and had to remember to add it into the recipe. That would have been awkward.

    You would. Bookmarking this immediately. Because if one thing is true, it’s the fact that this is a perfect one-girl dessert show since my dear husband will never be caught dead near a cake. Love it.

    p.s. How amazing is that spread?!

    I just tried Nutella for the first time last year. Changed my world. Who knew? I have never tried Biscoff and am unsure they have it here in Canada, land of the crappy food products. I need to move. Any houses for sale near you? Not that I’m like stalking you or anything. It would be for the biscoff.

    Never heard of Biscoff – you have me intrigued! I’m guessing it might be something like speculoos? Kind of a mixed-spice cookie-flavoured spread? From the sounds of it, actually, my butt may be better off if I never find out… ;-)

    I used normal peanut butter that has chocolate layers in it and I loved it! I even put some chocolate on top and then it melts through the cake. Lovely recipe, and thank you :)
