Lotus Biscoff Cake

Lotus Biscoff Biscuit Cake 

I recently purchased two tiny 5inch tins, which I just love. They make the cutest cakes and just the right size for us to enjoy without over indulging. They also make great cakes to gift, small enough to be used as excuse to eat cake for any occasion, but still special. I brought these tins from eBay and they have turned out some beautiful cakes. 

Lotus Biscoff biscuits always remind me of the hairdressers and I love eating them while having a bit of me time, when I heard about the spread version I just had to try it. Although delicious for me I just found it way to sweet to have on toast or a rice cake but not wanting to waste it I develop the below recipe. This made two small 5inch cakes, so we kept one and one we took to my parents for them to enjoy. 

It’s a rich cake, perfect for desert or with coffee.
