What is a Biscoff drip cake?
This cake features a soft sponge layered with creamy buttercream, crunchy Biscoff biscuits, and a glossy ganache drip.

How can I make a Lotus Biscoff drip cake at home?
You can bake one yourself if you’re confident in the kitchen:
- Bake sponge cake layers in your chosen flavour.
