Biscoff Traybake

It would not be the summer holidays if we didnt bake a traybake to enjoy. As our followers, you will know l love a traybake, they are simple to make, make a larger quantity so plenty of cake in stock when friends come to the house and there are so many flavours to make and enjoy.

We are currently loving Biscoff and so the boys and l made our own Biscoff traybake and l have to say it is a taste sensation.

The sponge contains cocoa and Biscoff and topped with Biscoff buttercream, it is very sweet tasting. We added some extra flavour and texture with a mini Biscoff biscuit.

The reipe is easy to follow and makes upto 9 servings depending on the size you desire. Let us know your thoughts if you make this summer sun treat.
