Step 4: Prepare the Lotus Cream Filling and Topping

1. While the cakes are cooling, ensure your Lotus Biscoff cream is at room temperature for easy spreading.
2. If desired, reserve about 4–6 tablespoons of the Lotus cream for piping decorations later.

Step 5: Assemble the Cake

1. Place one cake layer on a serving plate or cake stand. Spread a generous layer of Lotus Biscoff cream evenly over the top.
2. Place the second cake layer on top and spread the remaining Lotus cream over the top and sides of the cake, creating a smooth finish.
3. For a decorative touch, use a piping bag fitted with a star tip to pipe small dollops of the reserved Lotus cream around the edges of the cake.

Step 6: Decorate and Serve

1. Dust the top of the cake lightly with powdered sugar for an elegant finish, if desired.
2. Optionally, garnish with crushed Lotus Biscoff cookies or chocolate shavings for added texture and flair.
3. Slice and serve at room temperature for the best flavor experience.

Tips for Success:

• Strong Coffee: Use freshly brewed espresso or strong black coffee for maximum flavor. Let it cool completely before adding it to the batter.
• Softened Butter: Ensure the butter is softened but not melted. This helps create a light and airy cake batter.
• Layering: If the cake layers dome slightly during baking, trim the tops with a serrated knife to create flat, even layers for stacking.
• Storage: Store the cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Bring it to room temperature before serving.
