4.3 / 5 (3 reviews)

Inspired by the Sprinkles Cookie Cupcake, I've created my new Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake with layers of dark chocolate cookie crust, tender yellow chocolate chip cake, silky brown sugar frosting and dusted in chocolate chip cookie crumbs.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 300 degrees F. Spray three 8-inch round cake pans with nonstick spray, line the bottoms with parchment paper and spray again. Set aside. Combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and paddle on low speed until mixed. Add the butter and mix on low speed until the mixture starts to come together in small clusters. Spread 8 ounces of the chocolate crumbs on the parchment in each the three 8-inch cake pans. Using the back of a spoon, push the crumbs together to form a crust. Bake for 6 to 8 minutes. Let the crust cool a bit while you make the yellow cake.

My first cake from Cake By Courtney! Turned out super delicious. That dark chocolate cookie crust is to die for, and honestly steals the show for me. I will for sure be trying out some of your other cakes, Courtney!!

Just curious why you changed the brown sugar frosting recipe. I make this cake every year for my birthday. When I went to make it this time (my birthday is in January) I didn’t notice the different buttercream recipe until I had started making it. I followed all the instructions and it had an excellent consistency and was even pretty stiff until I added the butter. After I added the butter it because way too runny. I ended up adding some powdered sugar and sticking it in the fridge overnight so it would not fall and slide. The taste is good, but I’m not sure what I did wrong. How do you get yours to set up? I noticed the meringue set up when it didn’t have the butter.

I made this cake back in March 2022 and am going to make it again. I definitely do not remember the frosting being a Swiss meringue buttercream. Is the recipe for what it was previously available somewhere?

Did you make this recipe?

Thanks for rating!
