Ingredients

  

• 1 Recipe Chocolate Cake
• 1 Recipe Vanilla Cake
• 1 recipe American Style Buttercream
• 1 Recipe Chocolate Chip Cookies *see notes

For the Edible Cookie Dough Filling

• Vegan Butter room temperature 7 Tablespoons
• Granulated Sugar 1/2 cup 100g
• Light Brown Sugar 7 Tablespoons 88g
• Salt ½ teaspoon
• Vanilla Extract 1 teaspoon 5ml
• Room temperature Plant Milk 10 Tablespoons
• All Purpose Flour 1½ cups + 2 Tablespoons 202g
• Vegan Mini Chocolate Chips or Chunks 1¼ cup

Instructions

 

• Prepare your cake pans with grease & parchment paper liners.
• Preheat your oven to 350°F
• Prepare your cake layers by following the recipes & instructions on those pages and bake them into your prepared cake pans
• Prepare the buttercream as far in advance as 1 week and then color 1 cup of it blue and 1 cup of it pink.
• Prepare the edible cookie dough filling, by first toasting the flour on a sheet pan in a preheated 350°F oven for approximately 5-7 minutes.
• Cool completely while creaming together both sugars with the vegan butter until light & fluffy.
• Add the plant milk and be sure to scrape the bottom & sides of the bowl to mix well.
• the mixture may look curdled from the heavier amount of plant milk I am using to get the consistency of this dough to a creamy fluffy filling, not a herd stiff dough. *You can adjust this to your liking, more or less.
• Add the cooled flour with a pinch of salt *optional and mix well
• Add the miniature chocolate chips and mix well.
• Divide the dough between 2 cakes pans (*the same size you used for your cake layers!) that have been lined with plastic wrap for easy removal.
• Refrigerate the dough until firm & set.
• Assemble the cake as shown in the video tutorial.

Notes

If you are using cookies as the garnish on this cake, First choose the chocolate chip cookie recipe you want to make and prepare that recipe ahead of time

This cake can stay at room temperature for as long as it stays below 72°F otherwise the buttercream can get too warm and will start to droop, especially because this is a very tall cake!

For longer & possible safer! storage, keep refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 1 week
