Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup butter
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
Liquid and Flavoring Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Leavening and Optional Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Edible cookie dough (for layering)
- Frosting (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the baking environment by heating the oven to 350°F and thoroughly coating cake pans with grease to prevent sticking.
- Create a smooth, airy base by vigorously mixing butter and sugars until the mixture becomes light and voluminous.
- Incorporate eggs and vanilla extract, blending thoroughly to ensure a uniform consistency throughout the mixture.
- Gently sift flour and baking powder together, then gradually fold into the wet ingredients to maintain the batter’s delicate texture.
- Pour in milk and carefully fold chocolate chips into the batter, distributing them evenly for maximum flavor in each slice.
- Distribute the batter equally among prepared cake pans, ensuring smooth, level surfaces for consistent baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, checking doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center – it should emerge clean and dry.
- Allow cakes to cool completely on a wire rack, preventing condensation and maintaining structural integrity.
- Layer the cooled cakes with generous portions of edible cookie dough between each level, creating a decadent and indulgent dessert.
- Optionally finish the cake by applying a light dusting of powdered sugar or a smooth frosting to enhance visual appeal and add an extra layer of sweetness.
Notes
- Swap regular flour with gluten-free flour blend for a celiac-friendly version that maintains the cake’s soft texture.
- Reduce sugar content by using half the amount of natural sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit for a lower-calorie dessert.
- Experiment with plant-based butter and egg substitutes to create a vegan-friendly cake that’s still rich and indulgent.
- Freeze leftover cake slices individually for quick treats, ensuring the cookie dough stays perfectly soft and fresh.
