Cookie Dough Birthday Cake
This is a Building On Recipes Project so be sure to get all your recipes prepared in advance (up to a week for all the recipes!!) so the day you are to build this cake it only takes minutes! Ok, maybe an hour? LOL
Ingredients
- 1 Recipe Chocolate Cake
- 1 Recipe Vanilla Cake
- 1 recipe American Style Buttercream
- 1 Recipe Chocolate Chip Cookies
- 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 professional pan 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
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
This is such a great recipe! Thanks for sharing it.
Question: are the tablespoons of brown sugar for the cookie filling packed or not packed?
thanks! yes packed!!
Wow! Great cake! I made double the amounts (I used 23cm) and It came out amazing! Show stopper!
Thank you!
