Cookie Dough Brownie Cake

You know when you make an awesome dessert, take it to your Mom’s house for Sunday dinner, and only eat a tiny piece because you’re too full from dinner to eat more?   And then you find yourself sitting on the couch at 9pm wishing you brought a piece home with you?

Ingredients

Brownie Cake:

• 1 and ½ cups vegetable oil
• 3 cups sugar
• 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 6 eggs
• 1 and ½ cups flour
• 1 cup cocoa powder
• ¾ teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt

Cookie Dough Filling:

• 3 sticks unsalted butter, at room temperature
• ¾ cup light brown sugar, packed
• 3 and ½ cups confectioners’ sugar
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• ¾ teaspoon salt
• 3 Tablespoons milk
• 2 and ½ teaspoons vanilla extract

Ganache Frosting:

• 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, finely chopped (or use chocolate chips)
• ½ cup heavy whipping cream
• ¼ cup light corn syrup
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• Extra chocolate chips, for garnish

Instructions

Brownies:

• Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees (F).
• Prepare three 8-inch round baking pans with cooking spray and parchment.
• In a large bowl, combine sugar and oil. Stir with a large wooden spoon until completely combined.
• Add eggs one at a time, stirring and incorporating each completely before adding another.
• Add vanilla, stir to combine.
• In a medium bowl, combine dry ingredients (flour, cocoa powder, salt and baking powder.) Whisk to combine.
• Add dry ingredients a little bit at a time, stirring until just absorbed each time. I added mine in 3 batches. Do not over-mix, just stir until dry ingredients are fully incorporated.
• Pour batter evenly into three prepared pans.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with wet crumbs.
• Cool completely, then remove from pans and set aside.
• Prepare filling.

Cookie Dough Filling:

• In a large bowl (I used my stand mixer) beat butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
• Add confectioners' sugar, and beat to combine.
• Add flour and sugar, beat until combined.
• Add milk and vanilla, beat until light and fully.
