7. Bake for 18–20 minutes until golden and springy. 
8. Cool completely before frosting. 

Step 2 – Make the Biscoff Buttercream

1. Beat softened butter until pale and creamy. 
2. Add powdered sugar gradually, mixing until smooth. 
3. Beat in Biscoff spread until fully combined. 
4. If too thick, add 1–2 tbsp milk for a silky, pipeable consistency.

3. Sprinkle crushed biscuits for extra crunch. 

Tips for Perfect Biscoff Cupcakes

• Use room temperature ingredients for a smooth batter.
