Method
- Preheat oven to 170°C and grease 2 x 20cm (7cm deep) round cake pans with oil and line bases with baking paper.
- Place yoghurt, sugar and eggs into a large bowl and whisk. Add flour, oil, 1 tsp salt and spices and whisk until just combined. Divide evenly among pans and bake for 50-55 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the cake centre comes out clean. Cool in pans for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely. Trim tops to level cakes.
- To make the Biscoff chocolate icing, place spread and butter into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and beat on medium-high speed for 2 minutes or until light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add icing sugar. Beat for a further 1 minute. Add chocolate with the mixer running on low speed, then increase to medium-high speed and beat for 2 minutes or until fully incorporated.
- To make the decorations, gently melt half the chocolate in a bowl over simmering water, ensuring the base doesn’t touch the water. Remove from heat and stir in remaining chocolate until melted. Dip cherries into chocolate and place them onto a wire rack to set slightly.
- To assemble the cake, use half the icing to sandwich cakes, then spread the remaining icing over top. Top with cherries and rosemary sprigs. Serve.
