Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Biscoff Milk Cake
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch cake pan. In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whip the eggs and granulated sugar until pale and thickened for about 5 minutes. Gradually add milk, oil, and vanilla extract. Fold in dry ingredients gently until just combined.
  3. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25 minutes until golden or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool in the pan for at least 30 minutes before poking holes in the top.
  4. In a bowl, combine evaporated milk, condensed milk, half & half, and melted Biscoff. Whisk until smooth. Pour mixture evenly over the cooled cake and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  5. To make the whipped cream, whip heavy cream with melted Biscoff, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
  6. Spread the whipped cream over the cake, drizzle with melted Biscoff, and garnish with crushed Lotus cookies. Slice and serve with reserved milk mixture if desired.
