What is Biscoff?
Biscoff is a brand of speculoos cookies and cookie butter spread made by the Belgian company Lotus Bakeries. Speculoos are spiced, caramelized biscuits that have a distinct flavor, similar to gingerbread but with a milder, buttery taste.
Biscoff spread (also called cookie butter) is made by grinding Biscoff cookies into a creamy, peanut butter-like consistency. It has a deep caramelized flavor with hints of cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar.

How to Make Biscoff Mug Cake
We found the batter very thick in consistency but it still cooks well. Feel free to add more liquid for a lighter sponge. We cooked ours for 60 seconds, so timing on microwave can vary. Cook it for 60 seconds, then intervals of 10 seconds until it is cooked.
Mix the dry ingredients in a mug.
Add the wet ingredients and mix.
Microwave until firm.
Serve with a crushed Biscoff cookie.
Recipe Tips
- Use a large mug to prevent overflowing while microwaving.
- Don’t overcook – The cake will continue to firm up as it cools.
- Mix well to ensure no dry pockets of flour in the batter.
Variations & Add-Ins
- Extra Biscoff Drizzle: Microwave a spoonful of Biscoff spread and drizzle on top.
- Crunchy Topping: Crushed Biscoff cookies or a sprinkle of cinnamon for extra texture.
- Chocolate Chips: Stir in a few chocolate chips for a melty surprise.
- Ice Cream Pairing: Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
