Buckeye Cake
It’s nothing short of genius. The flavors and textures are perfection.
I could not keep my spoon out of it. So light and fluffy and unique and beautiful. I love that Katrina chose to make it such a dominant part of this cake.
I could not wait to cut into this cake; it was a glorious chocolate filling and glaze soaked masterpiece.
There were chocolate crumbs everywhere and glaze stick to my fingers and one of the most beautiful messes that I have ever tasted.

Great looking cake and my Dad would love it but no way I’m using biscoff. Any suggestions for substitute? Cashew butter? Sweetened condensed milk? Fluff?
Thx!!!
UMM …OK I am making this next week!!!
Are you supposed to grease and flour the pan? Recipe just said grease( or spray with cooking spray, which I did)… But it’s stuck in the pan and is falling apart trying to get this out! Damn I Wish I just floured it!
So how do you get to the ‘recipe?’
Gotta have recipe. I have Christmas dinner this year
Can I use semi-sweet or milk chocolate for the topping instead of dark chocolate? No one in our family likes dark chocolate!
recipe doses not differentiate ingredients for cake vs filling. Recipe calls for 10 tblsp butter and 1 cup of butter. Which is for cake and which is for filling?
Exactly my thoughts…….
What ingredients are used for which part of the cake? It doesn’t say which buttermilk is for the cake or the filling or the glaze. Clearing that. up would be very helpful
What is biscoff spead?
It is cookie butter that is found in the peanut butter isle.
What is biscoff and where do you buy it.?
