Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cake

So! Since its been so long, I am ambushing you guys with treats galore!! Here is another delicious treat! It is one of my boyfriends favorite, and I tend to make it for his birthday every year! Since he is so dang picky, its hard to actually find a delicious treat he likes! So I make it a lot! I also make these in cupcake form! They are super delicious either way, but this is the cake version! Its really easy! Yay! Cookies and cake in one!!! (well kind of cookies....but the dough is the best part anyways!)

Ingredients: 

Cake:

3 sticks salted butter, softened
1½ cups brown sugar
4 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
2 2/3 cups flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
¼ tsp. salt
1 cup milk

Cookie Dough Filling:

4 tbsp. unsalted butter, at room temperature
6 tbsp. light brown sugar, packed
1 cup plus 2 tbsp. all-purpose flour
7 oz. sweetened condensed milk
½ tsp. vanilla extract
¼ cup mini semisweet chocolate chips

Frosting:
3 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
¾ cup light brown sugar, packed
3½ cups confectioners’ sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
¾ tsp. salt
3 tbsp. milk
2½ tsp. vanilla extract

Directions:

To make the cake, first preheat your oven to 350°! It has to be nice and toasty for the cake. Take your flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt and sift together into a bowl and set aside. Then take your room temperature butter and cream it with the brown sugar.Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing until incorporated after each egg. Blend in the vanilla. Alternately add in your milk and dry ingredients, start and end with the dry ingredients. Separate the batter into two grease 9-inch pans. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until a tester inserted in the middle comes out clean! Take out and let cool.

To make the filling, cream the butter and sugar together. Add in the flour, mix well. Use your sweetened condensed milk, sometimes this doesn't take the whole 7 oz. you may use less, just mix in the 'milk' until you get the consistency of cookie dough. It will be a little bit stickier than regular dough though! (ha, I rhymed :p)

Mix in the vanilla and the chocolate chips! And you're done! 

After your cake is cooled, and you have evened out the tops (if you want, its not totally necessary!), take the cookie dough and spread in the middle. Make sure its on nice and thick! The more the better! Yummy in everybody's tummy :) 

To make the frosting, beat together the butter and brown sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until creamy. Mix in the powdered sugar until smooth. Beat in the flour and salt. Mix in the milk and vanilla extract until smooth and well blended. Then ice your cake all pretty!

I used some wilton fondant and put that on top of the icing, just to try out using fondant. It didn't taste that bad! From what I heard the fondant would taste gross, but mine was ok! I also cut out circles and made it polka dot for mah boyfrand :p 

Sorry for the crappy picture though :(

Enjoy!!
