Summer Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Layer Cake

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Make the cake layers:

1. Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and line three 8-inch (20 cm) round pans.
2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. In another bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy (2–3 mins).
4. Beat in eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla.
5. Alternately add dry ingredients and milk, mixing until just combined.
6. Divide batter into pans and bake for 22–25 minutes or until golden and a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely.

2. Make edible cookie dough:

1. Heat-treat flour: Microwave for 1–2 minutes, stirring every 30 sec, to kill bacteria.
2. Cream butter and sugars. Mix in milk and vanilla.
3. Add flour and salt, then fold in mini chocolate chips.
4. Roll into small balls or flatten into discs for layering.

3. Make cookie dough frosting:

1. Cream butter and brown sugar until smooth.
2. Add powdered sugar and flour. Mix in vanilla and milk until fluffy.
3. Stir in mini chips if using.

4. Assemble the cake:

1. Place first cake layer on a board. Spread frosting, then press cookie dough discs or chunks over.
2. Add second cake layer and repeat.
3. Top with final layer and cover entire cake with cookie dough frosting.
4. Decorate with cookie dough bites, chocolate drizzle, chips, or cookies.
