COOKIE BUTTER POUND CAKE

Nov.posted by Paula 35 Comments

Melt-in-your-mouth good, Cookie Butter Pound Cake is luscious and rich. The cookie butter gives it almost a brown sugar or caramel flavor. It’s moist and soft inside with that crust that is so desirable on pound cakes.

Melt-in-your-mouth good, Cookie Butter Pound Cake is luscious and rich. The cookie butter gives it almost a brown sugar or caramel flavor.

Cookie butter is a spread like peanut butter that’s made from a cookie. The cookie is ‘kind of’ like a graham cracker. Here are examples of cookie butter > Lotus and Speculoos or you can find it with the peanut butter in stores.

Cookie Butter Pound Cake bakes up tender, soft and moist with tons of flavor. I highly recommend this cake. And I know pound cakes. Check out my review of pound cakes.

As I ran across a photo of my Peanut Butter Pound Cake it hit me instantaneously ‘why haven’t I made a Cookie Butter Pound Cake?’ I mean, if something is so good that you can eat it straight from the jar, it’s got to get better in cake form. Am I right?

Cookie Butter Pound Cake

A pound cake is a classic Southern dessert. Traditionally, they are butter or vanilla-flavored and made with a pound of butter, a pound of flour, a pound of sugar and a pound of eggs. I believe it has remained a popular dessert choice for one because the recipe was easy to remember before cookbooks were printed. Secondly, it’s buttery and sweet and can be enjoyed plain or dressed up with ice cream, whipped cream, fruit, chocolate, caramel, and the list goes on!

This Cookie Butter Pound Cake is everything you want in a dessert. No, it’s not a traditional pound cake. It’s not even close. However, it is velvety, luscious, and FULL of amazing cookie butter flavor. Adding cookie butter elevates this pound cake to the next level. It’s super moist inside with the same crispy outside of a traditional pound cake. And, that frosting!! Superb!

What about the frosting?

For the icing I mixed cookie butter with a traditional cream cheese frosting recipe and, oh boy, it is nothing short of miraculous! You’ll want the icing to be thin and ‘pourable’ versus thick and ‘spreadable’. Does that make sense?

This recipe is sure to become a beloved favorite. After all who can resist a cake so moist and buttery that it melts in your mouth?

    Do you have to sift the flour before you measure it.

    I recommend 2 cups of sugar and a half cup of cookie butter for a less sweet, but softer cake. Also, 70 minutes was too long 60 minutes would be a good checking point.

        I always find it with the peanut butter. There are Biscoff brand and Speculoos brand (that’s the only 2 brands I’ve ever seen.) I can literally eat about 1/2 a jar with a spoon! 😋😍

    I want to make this for a friend, but she doesn’t like overly sweet desserts. Would the recipe still be good if I used less than 3 cups of sugar??? or maybe there’s an icing alternative that will balance out the sweetness of the cake? Can’t wait to try it!

      The cake is not overly sweet. You want to leave the frosting off completely.

    How would you bake in a 9 inch tube pan vs 10 inch?
    Thanks

    • Paula says

      11.01.19 at 1:11 pm

      First, make sure the batter is under 2 inches from the top of the pan or it may overflow. If you have extra batter, you can bake it in cupcakes separately.
      Start checking the cake at 60 minutes for doneness.

    I only used 2 cups of sugar, with the sugar from the Biscoff I found it much too sweet even using less sugar.

    This sounds so delicious! I’m not much of a baker, as you will see from my question. Can self rising flour be substituted for the all purpose flour, salt, and baking powder? I don’t always have all purpose, but do have self rising.
