2 Large Eggs (approx. 140g)
100g Plain Yoghurt
1 tsp Vanilla
250g Plain flour

50g Boiled Water, cooled for 2 minutes

50g Biscoff Spread, Melted
Method
Biscuit Base
Melt your butter and add it to the crushed biscuits (I hit them with a rolling pin, it's like therapy! A food processor is good too, but a lot less fun)
Mix these well so it's all covered in the butter, pop this into the base of the lined tin, and line the sides too. To get an even layer use a potato masher to push it all down.
Leave this in the fridge whilst you do the sponge.
Sponge:
Preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/350F/Gas 4
Place the room temp butter, Biscoff spread and both sugars into your mixer. Whip these together until they are light and fluffy, around 2 mins.
Then add in all the other ingredients and mix for approx. 1 min until completely incorporated, any longer and it will affect the fluffiness.
Pour this onto the top of the biscuit crumb in the tin. Smooth it over to cover the biscuit completely and pop it into the oven for 45-50 mins.
Whilst it’s cooking, in a saucepan add the dark brown sugar and water, bring this to the boil and leave on a rolling simmer for about 2 mins before removing from the heat and setting to one side. When it has cooled slightly add ½ tsp of vanilla to make that flavour POP! Yum... Once the traybake is out of the oven, stab the top quite a few times, with a skewer and pour over about 4 tbsps. Rest the spoon on the top of the cake and kind of wobble the spoon so the syrup comes off. Cover with the syrup as evenly as possible.
Leave to cool completely.
To Buttercream add 100g of Biscoff spread to the completed buttercream and add to the top of the cooled sponge.
Melt the Biscoff spread and drizzle this onto the top using a piping bag or spoon, for decoration.
