Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cake Recipe

CAKE

I LOVE Paula Dean's Basic 1-2-3-4 Recipe

1 cup (2 sticks) butter, at room temperature 
2 cups sugar 
4 eggs 
3 cups sifted self-rising flour 
1 cup milk 
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 deg and spray round cake pans.  (tip: I always cut wax paper and lay it in the pan to make cake come out easily)

2.  Cream butter with electric mixer until fluffy.  Add sugar and continue beating for a few minutes. Add eggs one at a time.

3. Add flour and milk alternating back and forth between each one.  Starting and ending with flour.  Add vanilla.

4. Fill pans equally.  (tip: drop pan several times on counter to remove air bubbles in batter.)

5. Bake 20 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.

COOKIE DOUGH FILLING (EGGLESS)

Directions:

1/2 cup butter (soften)

1/4 cup sugar

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

2 Tablespoon milk

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1 3/4 cup all purpose flour

1/2 cup chocolate chips (mini ones would work best, but I just have regular ones so I crushed them a little in a plastic bag.)

Directions:

1. Cream together butter, sugars, milk, and vanilla.  Blend in flour completely.  Stir in chocolate chips.

2. Roll into circles and place in freezer until very firm.  

To assemble cake

1. place one cooled layer on your cake stand.  Smooth a nice layer of butter cream frosting and arrange cookie dough balls.....everywhere on it!  Yumm......yummm!

2.  carefully lay top layer of cake on and put the frosting on top.  You can ice the sides of leave them open with the tempting cookie dough layer peeking out.  Sprinkle extra chocolate chips on top and arrange left over cookie dough.

when I made the frosting for this cake I crushed up chocolate chips and mixed them in it to really give the cake a cookie dough flavor!

have a lovely day,
