Cooking Biscoff Cupcakes: The Process

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your cupcakes bake evenly and rise beautifully.

Step 2: Prepare the Muffin Tin

Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners. This will help with easy removal and cleanup afterward.

Step 3: Combine Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda, and salt. Make sure everything is well combined.

Step 4: Mix Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, combine the vinegar, oil, and water. Slowly add this mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!

Step 5: Fill the Muffin Tin

Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each liner about two-thirds full.

Step 6: Bake

Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 7: Cool

Once baked, remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8: Make the Biscoff Frosting

In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and Biscoff spread together until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and milk, mixing until you reach a creamy consistency.

Step 9: Frost the Cupcakes

Once the cupcakes have cooled completely, generously frost each one with the Biscoff frosting. You can use a piping bag for a decorative touch or simply spread it on with a knife.

Step 10: Drizzle with Caramel

To elevate your Biscoff Cupcakes, drizzle them with caramel sauce for that extra touch of sweetness and visual appeal.

Holiday-Friendly Variations

• Spiced Pumpkin Biscoff Cupcakes: Add pumpkin puree and spices like cinnamon and nutmeg for a fall twist.
• Chocolate Chip Biscoff Cupcakes: Fold in chocolate chips to the batter for an extra chocolaty treat.
• Mini Biscoff Cupcakes: Use a mini muffin tin for bite-sized treats perfect for parties.
• Peanut Butter Biscoff Fusion: Mix a swirl of peanut butter into the frosting for a delightful flavor combination.

Notes on Ingredients

When selecting your ingredients for the Biscoff Cupcakes, consider the following:

• Be sure to use high-quality cocoa powder for the best chocolate flavor.
• Softened butter is key for a smooth frosting texture—take it out of the fridge about an hour before you need it.
• For the Biscoff spread, choose the original variety for the classic taste.
• If you prefer a richer frosting, you can add an extra tablespoon of Biscoff spread to the frosting mixture.

Meal Prep & Storage Notes

• Store any leftover cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
• If you want to keep them longer, refrigerate them for up to a week.
• You can also freeze the un-frosted cupcakes for up to 3 months. Just thaw and frost when you’re ready to enjoy!

Your Top Questions

Can I use another type of spread instead of Biscoff?

Yes! You can substitute with other cookie spreads or even nut butters. Just keep in mind that it will change the flavor slightly.

What if I don’t have cocoa powder?

If you don’t have cocoa powder, you can make vanilla Biscoff cupcakes by omitting it and replacing it with an additional 1/2 cup of flour.

Can I make these cupcakes gluten-free?

Absolutely! Simply substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend that measures cup-for-cup.

How can I make the frosting dairy-free?
