Biscoff Chocolate Molten Cakes

So everyone has heard of Nutella. By now you are probably sick of me talking about Nutella and although I am still in love with this yummy spread- my new found love is Biscoff! Yep Biscoff and if it wasn’t for the Secret Recipe Club and my assigned blog Mother Thyme I would have never found out about this amazing- out of this world Spread and Cookies! I think I might be addicted! You may have heard of Biscoff before but if you haven’t then let me explain. It is a delicious coffee flavored shortbread type cookie that is crunchy yet silky and just melts in your mouth with that first crunchy bite. Its a flavor mixture of coffee, brown sugar and spices and both the spread and cookies are perfect for baking.

It was Valentines Day and I wanted to make something extra special for my husband- my friend- the love of my life. Yes- I’m sappy but its true! Chocolate of course had to be the main ingredient but to kick things up a notch I thought I would use a combo of recipes from Mother of Thyme and then tweak them a bit. She is an inspiration and you leave her blog with your stomach growling. Mother of Thyme did a Biscoff Blondie recipe that looked incredible and then she did a chocolate bundt cake. Put those two main ingredients together and then tweak the cake part to include a yummy decadent creamy biscoff chocolate filling and you have yourself the MOST INCREDIBLE DESSERT KNOWN TO MAN!  GENIUS! The biscoff spread paired perfectly with the melted oeey gooey chocolate filling and the coffee and spice flavor really added a whole new dimension to the idea of chocolate cake. Seriously, if you would have dropped in on me that day you would have found me in the kitchen licking the bowl from rim to rim!

I melted a few chocolate chips along with the biscoff spread before adding it to the chocolate filling so that I could keep the “look” of chocolate but have a nice biscoffy (i made that word up) surprise once you take a bite!

There is nothing extra special about a Molten Chocolate Cake but a Biscoff Chocolate Molten Cake- now that is special. Give thanks to Mother Thyme for the inspiration behind this incredible dessert!

  33. Sandie

    Holy Crow, I want that!!! When I was in NY I got my hands on a jar of the biscoff spread. Pure heaven… That stuff should be illegal.
    Best, Sandie

    You’ll never believe this but my daughter has us HOOKED on Biscoff butter. We have new saying around here, “Everything’s better with Biscoff!” (especially pancakes for the record). These molten cakes will make my daughter go crazy with happiness. I just shouted out to her that I have found your recipe and she is squealing with delight. Thank you for sharing this. Biscoff is a very dangerous indulgence because it is totally addictive. So glad you posted this!

    Oooh, boy, how fabulous!!! I’ve been eyeing that Biscoff spread at the market…but I’m afraid I’d have no restraint once it arrived home! I might just have a reason to purchase it now 🙂

  53. Candace

    Biscoff….Nutella….both are so amazing that they are dangerous around here. All I need is a spoon….or a finger….and I’m out of control I am loving this cake recipe. So far I’ve only used the Biscoff in cookie dough balls; but I’m thinking I might need to make one of these this weekend. It looks amazing!

  54. Rivki Locker

    Yum. This looks amazing. I’m dying to try Biscoff but I don’t think it’s kosher. Sad. 🙁
    Thanks for sharing!

  55. marla

    I have never tried Biscoff before but that needs to change very soon!

  57. Karen (Back Road Journal)

    I have heard of Biscoff on many of the blogs and it must be incredibly delicious…everyone is reaving about it. I know I won’t be able to find it in New Hampshire but there is always the internet. Your molten cake looks terrific.

  58. Allie @ Allies Clean Plate Club

    I recently discovered Biscoff spread on the SRC facebook group. Now I am addicted!! I am excited to try your recipe, it looks delish! Great post and even better pictures of the steps. I am still just an “iphone picture blogger”, so my pictures aren’t exactly what the could be. your pictures make me want to get my act together!

  59. Baker Street

    NOW we’re talking! This is totally my kind of treat! Looks amazing,

  60. Erin

    Those look sooooo good! I’ve seen soooo many things made with biscoff spread, but I’m not sure where to find it in Canada (albeit it haven’t looked very hard). I’m going to have to ramp up my efforts to find it because I have to make these!!! 😀 Great to be in group C with you.

  61. Rachel

    This just climbed to the top of my “must make” list! It looks delicious! Many thanks for the recipe!
