Why You’ll Love This Lotus Biscoff Loaf Cake
If you love Lotus Biscoff, this loaf cake is a must-try! It’s packed with rich, caramelised Biscoff flavour in every bite. The sponge is soft, buttery, and moist, made with both Biscoff spread and butter for extra indulgence.
The best part? It’s topped with a creamy Biscoff buttercream and finished with a smooth Biscoff drip around the edges. Plus, it’s decorated with Lotus Biscoff biscuits for that extra crunch.
It’s the perfect cake for sharing, but if you’re a Biscoff fan like me, you might just keep this one to yourself.
Tips for the Best Lotus Biscoff Loaf Cake
- Use room temperature ingredients for a smooth batter and even baking.
- Don’t overmix the batter—this keeps the sponge light and fluffy.
- Melt the Biscoff spread for a smooth, even drip that looks as good as it tastes.
- Let the cake cool fully before adding the drip and frosting to prevent the buttercream from melting.

How to Make Lotus Biscoff Loaf Cake
Step 1: Make the Cake
Preheat your oven to 180C (160C fan) / 350F and line a 3lb loaf tin with non-stick baking paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, Biscoff spread, and caster sugar using an electric whisk until light and fluffy.
Whisk in the eggs until just combined.
Fold in the self-raising flour using a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until no streaks of flour remain. Try not to overmix.
Scoop the batter into your prepared loaf tin and smooth it out evenly.
Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out with a few moist crumbs.
Let the cake cool fully before moving on to the next steps.
Step 2: Make the Biscoff Buttercream
In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter until creamy using an electric whisk.
Gradually add in the icing sugar, one-third at a time, whisking well after each addition.
Add the Biscoff spread and whisk until combined, then gradually add the milk until you reach your desired consistency.
Step 3: Make the Biscoff Drip
Melt the Biscoff spread in the microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring between each one until runny and smooth.
Transfer it to a piping bag then cut a small hole in the bottom of the bag (about 2mm wide).
Drizzle the Biscoff spread around the edge of the cake, allowing it to gently drip down the sides.
Let it set slightly before adding the buttercream.
Step 4: Decorate the Cake
Transfer the Biscoff buttercream into a piping bag fitted with a star nozzle.
Pipe the buttercream on top of the cake in swirls, or spread it over the top with a spoon.
Press the Lotus Biscoff biscuit halves into the buttercream at a slight angle.
Your Biscoff Loaf Cake is ready to serve! Slice and enjoy!
