Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 cups flour
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup milk
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Prepare the cake base by thoroughly greasing two 9-inch round cake pans and heating the oven to 350F (175C).
- Combine softened butter with white and brown sugars, whipping until the mixture becomes airy and pale.
- Incorporate eggs individually, ensuring complete integration after each addition, then blend in fragrant vanilla extract.
- Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt in a separate mixing vessel to eliminate potential lumps.
- Gradually introduce dry ingredients into the butter mixture, alternating with milk to maintain a smooth, consistent texture.
- Gently fold chocolate chips throughout the batter, distributing them evenly for maximum flavor.
- Carefully pour the batter into prepared pans, creating equal layers and bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick emerges clean.
- Allow cake layers to cool completely on a wire rack, ensuring room temperature is reached.
- Prepare the cookie dough filling by blending butter, brown sugar, flour, vanilla, and chocolate chips until achieving a silky, spreadable consistency.
- Generously spread the cookie dough between the cooled cake layers, creating a decadent center.
- Frost the exterior of the cake with complementary frosting, then embellish with additional cookie dough crumbles and scattered chocolate chips.
Notes
- Softening butter at room temperature ensures smoother mixing and lighter cake texture.
- Sifting dry ingredients prevents lumps and creates more even cake consistency.
- Using high-quality chocolate chips enhances the overall flavor profile of the dessert.
- Consider substituting gluten-free flour for a celiac-friendly version of this indulgent cake.
