Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Cake:
    • 2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 ½ cups sugar
    • ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
    • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
    • 1 ½ tsp baking soda
    • 1 tsp salt
    • 1 cup milk
    • ½ cup vegetable oil
    • 2 large eggs
    • 2 tsp vanilla extract
    • 1 cup hot water
  • For the Edible Cookie Dough:
    • 1 cup all-purpose flour (heat-treated)
    • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
    • ¾ cup brown sugar
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract
    • 2 tbsp milk
    • ½ cup mini chocolate chips
  • For the Frosting:
    • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
    • 3 ½ cups powdered sugar
    • ½ cup cocoa powder
    • 2 tsp vanilla extract
    • ¼ cup milk

Instructions

  • Bake the Cake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add milk, oil, eggs, and vanilla. Beat until smooth. Gradually stir in hot water. Divide batter between pans and bake for 30-35 minutes. Cool completely.
  • Make the Edible Cookie Dough: Heat-treat the flour by baking it for 5 minutes at 350°F. Beat butter and brown sugar together. Add vanilla and milk, then stir in flour and mini chocolate chips. Refrigerate until firm.
  • Make the Frosting: Beat butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla, and milk until smooth and spreadable.
  • Assemble the Cake: Layer the cooled cakes with a thick layer of cookie dough in the middle. Frost the cake with chocolate frosting, covering the top and sides.
  • Decorate: Optionally, top with extra cookie dough balls or chocolate chips for a finishing touch.

Notes

  • Heat-treating flour is essential for safe consumption of raw cookie dough.
  • You can freeze the cake for easier frosting.
  • Add a drizzle of chocolate ganache for extra richness.
