Ingredients:
For the Fudgy Brownie Cake:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 1 ¾ cup butter
- 1 ¾ cups brown sugar
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- 5 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Directions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 345°F. Grease and line two 8-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.
- Make Brownie Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the melted butter with the brown sugar and granulated sugar. Mix in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, then stir in the chocolate chips until just combined.
- Bake: Divide the brownie batter evenly between the two prepared pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Let the cakes cool completely in the pans before removing.
- Make Buttercream: In a stand mixer or with a handheld electric mixer, beat the softened butter until light and fluffy. Gradually add the sweetened condensed milk, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract. Gently fold in chunks of edible cookie dough (if using), reserving some for decorating.
- Assemble Cake: Place one brownie cake layer on a serving plate or cake stand. Spread a generous layer of the cookie dough buttercream on top. Place the second cake layer on top and press down gently. Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining buttercream, smoothing it out with a spatula. Decorate the cake with mini chocolate chips and extra cookie dough chunks if desired.
Tips:
- For cleaner cuts, chill the cake in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before slicing.
- Store the cake in the fridge for up to one week, bringing slices to room temperature before serving for the best texture.
