Flavouring – I used vanilla extract because I love the flavour in amongst bakes, as you are all well aware of now haha! <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.janespatisserie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/VeganBiscoffCake12-2.jpg\")

Buttercream<\/h3>\n
The buttercream is so simple, and all it requires from a regular buttercream is swapping the dairy unsalted butter to a vegan alternative! There is a trick to this though as some are far better than others. <\/p>\n
As unsalted butter that contains dairy is a very firm ingredient, you want a dairy free alternative that is as firm as possible – my favourite at the moment is flora plant butter. <\/p>\n
Mix the butter on its own, whack in the icing sugar and mix, and then add the biscoff. You want to avoid adding any liquid as you don’t want the buttercream to soften too much (which is a risk as the butters are naturally softer). <\/p>\n

Decoration<\/h3>\n
Decoration on a cake like this is completely up to you and what you want to do! I decided to pipe the buttercream onto my cakes because it made it look pretty, but you can slather it on with a spatula if you wanted, or do a different style of piping. <\/p>\n
I layered the cake with buttercream, then added some melted Biscoff Spread, biscuits and sprinkles to the top of the cake. I melted my biscoff in the microwave in 10 second bursts until it was runny, and just drizzled it on with a spoon – nothing precious. <\/p>\n
If you wanted to level up the decoration you could do whatever you want – but I love this cake the way it is! <\/p>\n

Tips and Tricks<\/h3>\n
When you are mixing this cake mixture, you really do not want to overmix it. I just use a bowl and a hand whisk, no electrics in sight. If you over mix the mixture, it could make the cake dense which we don’t want. For the buttercream however, and electric mixer is always easier. <\/p>\n
If you can’t have alcohol you can use lemon juice as an alternative to the vinegar, but best results really do come from using a white wine vinegar, or even apple cider vinegar. <\/p>\n
Biscuits do naturally soften if they’re placed on a cake, so if this is something you are fussy about, put them on last minute! <\/p>\n
