How to make a Brownie Cookie Dough Cake

Begin by preparing brownie mixes according to box directions. (Or making from-scratch brownies.) Place 2 cups of brownie batter into each 8-inch round cake pan, three pans total. (To prepare the pans I generously coated them with GOOP, then placed a parchment circle in the bottom, then added more GOOP.)

Allow brownies to cool then remove from pan.

While the brownie is baking, prepare Cookie Dough Frosting.

Easy Brownie Cookie Dough Cake

Place 1 layer of brownie on the cake stand. Cover with about 1/2 cup of cookie dough frosting using a small offset spatula. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of mini chocolate chips on top. Add the next layer of brownie, cover with 1/2 cup cookie dough frosting, then 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips. Place the final layer of brownie on top and cover the entire cake with the remaining cookie dough frosting.

Now press chocolate chips into the sides and top of the cake. Fill in as much as possible.

Drizzle 1 cup of chocolate syrup (you can also use chocolate ganache) over the entire cake. Chill until ready to serve.

I am thankful that Kara from Kara’s Koutour Cakes addressed the “raw flour” issue. I could not agree with her more! SEE IT HERE

  6. The brownie cake recipe- icing recipe, is it really flour you use in icing mix instead of powdered sugar? I e never heard of this! Please reply heather or not. I would hate to waste time, money, and taste to a typo error.

  7. hi. Your recipes look mouthwatering good. Someone posted the brownie cookie dough cake on Facebook and I want to print out the recipes. There’s one button that says print and it does absolutely nothing. Is there a way you could send me a printable copy? Thank you so much!

  8. The amount of frosting you are putting on the cake in the video looks more like a cup to me for each layer not the 1/2 cup the recipe calls for. I would like to know if the frosting recipe needs to be doubled to frost this. Also, what temperature and length of time do you bake these layers?
