Instructions
- Prepare the cake foundation by preheating the oven to 350°F. Thoroughly coat two 9-inch round cake pans with grease and flour to prevent sticking.
- Create the chocolate cake batter by combining dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Whisk flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well integrated.
- Incorporate wet ingredients into the dry mixture. Add milk, oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until the batter achieves a smooth, consistent texture.
- Carefully introduce hot water into the batter, stirring gently to maintain a light consistency. Divide the batter evenly between prepared cake pans.
- Bake the cake layers for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
- Sanitize the flour for cookie dough by spreading it on a baking sheet and heating at 350°F for 5 minutes to eliminate potential bacteria.
- Prepare the edible cookie dough by creaming butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in vanilla and milk, then fold in flour and mini chocolate chips.
- Chill the cookie dough in the refrigerator until it firms up and becomes easily manageable.
- Craft the chocolate frosting by beating butter until creamy and smooth. Gradually incorporate powdered sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla, and milk until achieving a spreadable consistency.
- Assemble the cake by placing one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a generous layer of chilled cookie dough across the surface.
- Position the second cake layer on top of the cookie dough filling. Apply chocolate frosting evenly, covering the entire cake including top and sides.
- Enhance the presentation by garnishing with additional cookie dough balls or sprinkled chocolate chips for a final decorative touch.
Notes
- Heat-treat flour by baking at 350°F to eliminate harmful bacteria and ensure food safety when using raw cookie dough.
- Use room temperature ingredients like eggs and milk to create a smoother, more evenly mixed cake batter that bakes perfectly.
- Refrigerate cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before assembling to help it hold its shape and prevent melting during cake construction.
- Replace all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend to make this cake suitable for those with gluten sensitivities, maintaining the same delicious texture.
