Chocolate Biscoff Cake

I turned 30 on Monday. It was kinda a big deal. So I decided to make myself a cake. An amazing cake. This cake.

The cake is soft, rich, moist, and oh so chocolatey. The Biscoff filling is sweet, creamy, and cookie butter-licious! Its topped with a chocolate ganache that adds just a touch more chocolate to the mix, cause people, there's never enough chocolate! :)
