Cookie Cake
- Preheat the oven to 180°C or 350° Spray a 9-inch circle cake pan or a spring form pan with oil, and line the bottom and sides with parchment paper.
- In a stand mixer, with a paddle attachment, cream the butter and the sugars until fluffy. Add the egg, cinnamon, speculoos spread, and mix.

- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
- Allow the cookie cake to cool in the pan before removing. Let the cookie cake fully cool, transfer to a serving plate and decorate with the speculoos buttercream.
