Directions:
To Make the Cake:
Prep and Mix: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8" cake pan with cooking spray. In a bowl, whisk together flour, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, anise, cardamom, ginger, and nutmeg.
Cream and Blend: In a large bowl, beat the brown sugar and butter until fluffy, about 3-5 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla.
Combine and Bake: Gradually mix in half the dry ingredients, then half the buttermilk. Repeat with the rest, mixing until just combined. Pour batter into the pan. Bake for 50-55 minutes or until a tester comes out clean. Cool completely, then slice horizontally into two layers.
To Make the Cookie Butter Mousse:
Mix and Fluff: Beat cookie butter, cream cheese, and a pinch of salt until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes. Slowly add heavy cream while beating until well combined.
To Make the Whipped Cream:
Whisk to Peaks: Beat heavy cream, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla until soft peaks form, about 3 minutes.
To Assemble the Trifle:
Layer and Build: Trim cake layers to fit your trifle dish. Spread a layer of whipped cream in the bottom of the dish, then add one cake layer. Top with half of the mousse.
Arrange Cookies: Stand Biscoff cookies upright along the dish's edge. Fill the center with more whipped cream, guiding it between cookies. Drizzle with caramel sauce.
Repeat and Finish: Place the second cake layer on top, add the remaining mousse, then top with more whipped cream. Cover and chill for at least 3 hours or overnight.
Decorate and Serve: Before serving, drizzle with extra caramel sauce, add a couple of cookies for garnish, and dust with confectioners' sugar.
Enjoy your delicious, spiced Biscoff Bliss Trifle! 🍂🍰
