How To Make Lotus Biscoff Cheesecake Cake
Before we go into the cooking process, let’s talk about cake flour. When it comes to making the perfect sponge cake, I always prefer cake flour to achieve the unique light and spongy texture. Unfortunately, Australian grocery stores don’t sell cake flour. So, I rely on the homemade version of this flour, and it’s super easy to make at home. I have included the method in the recipe section in case cake flour is not easily available.
Coming to this Lotus biscoff cheesecake cake recipe, start with making the sponge cake. A simple combo of eggs, sugar, flour, oil, milk and a touch of vanilla extract. The cake is baked low and slow to achieve that soft texture. As this sponge cake is extremely delicate, handle with care. Once the cake is cooled, slice into two equal halves. Again, you’ll need a smaller cake for the cheesecake layer. Just make sure you cut one of the slices into a 6-inch cake.
The no bake cheesecake layer is a simple combination of cream cheese, sugar and cream. Stir in gelatin dissolved in water to set the layer.
Now, let’s assemble. Begin with a base layer of sponge cake, spread with plenty of biscoff spread, top with half of cheesecake mixture, small sponge cake and remaining cheesecake mixture. Let this set in the refrigerator for about 4 hours. Once set, remove the biscoff cheesecake cake from the mold and top with biscoff biscuit crumbs. Finally, just use your imagination to decorate the cake.
