Instructions
Prepare the Cake:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking soda, cocoa powder, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, vegetable oil, buttermilk, vanilla extract, vinegar, and red food coloring.
Gradually mix the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until smooth and fully combined.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool completely before decorating.
Assemble the Cake:
Spread a thin layer of cream cheese frosting (if using) over the top of the cooled cake.
Sprinkle crushed Biscoff cookies evenly over the frosting.
Drizzle the caramel sauce generously over the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides.
Serve and Enjoy: Slice and serve this rich, indulgent cake for any special occasion or when you’re in the mood for something truly decadent!
