Cookie Dough Ingredients:
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 0.75 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (heat-treated)
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup milk
- 0.5 cup mini chocolate chips
- Pinch of salt
Frosting Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons whole milk
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Prepare the baking environment by heating the oven to 350F (175C) and preparing two 9-inch round cake pans with grease and flour or parchment paper.
- Create the dry ingredient mixture by whisking flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl, then set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly cream softened butter and granulated sugar until the mixture becomes light and airy, approximately 3 minutes.
- Incorporate eggs individually into the butter-sugar mixture, then add vanilla extract, blending until the texture becomes smooth and uniform.
- Gradually integrate the dry ingredient mixture with milk, alternating between the two and starting and concluding with the dry ingredients. Mix carefully to maintain a consistent batter.
- Delicately fold mini chocolate chips into the cake batter, ensuring even distribution throughout the mixture.
- Distribute the prepared batter equally between the cake pans, creating a level surface for even baking.
- Place the pans in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, checking doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center – it should emerge clean when the cakes are fully cooked.
- Remove cakes from the oven and allow them to rest in the pans for 10 minutes to stabilize their structure.
- Transfer the cakes to a wire cooling rack, letting them reach complete room temperature before further preparation or frosting.
Notes
- Room temperature ingredients help create smoother, more evenly mixed batter with better cake texture.
- Use high-quality chocolate chips for enhanced flavor and richer cookie dough experience.
- Line cake pans with parchment paper for easier cake removal and perfectly shaped layers.
- Consider reducing chocolate chips for lighter cake or using gluten-free flour for alternative dietary needs.
