    3 - Baking

    1. Preheat oven to 350°F / 180°C and line a 8 inches / 20 cm round cake pan with parchment paper only on the bottom.
    2. Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan and lightly smooth the surface with an offset spatula.
    3. Bake in the oven on medium-high for about 35 minutes until the cake is well-risen and golden brown on top.
    4. Remove the cake layer from the oven and let it cool slightly in the pan before carefully removing it from the pan and letting it cool completely upside down on a wire rack.

    Tip: Check for baking by inserting either a knife blade or a toothpick into the center of the cake. If the blade comes out clean without crumbs, the cake is done. If not, extend the baking time by 5 minutes.

    1. Place cold mascarpone cheese, cold heavy cream, cookie butter spread , vanilla extract and powdered sugar in a large mixing bowl.
    2. Mix with an electric mixer on medium-slow speed for about 3 minutes until you have a thick, fluffy frosting.
    3. Immediately top the completely cooled cake, then decorate with crushed biscoff cookies.

    Conseil : Attention à ne pas trop fouetter la crème au risque qu'elle tranche et soit granuleuse. Mélanger toujours à vitesse moyenne, jamais à vitesse rapide et arrêter le mélange lorsque sa texture commence à se serrer mais qu'elle reste encore lisse.
