Indulge in Sweet Simplicity: The Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake Recipe

If you’re a fan of the classic chocolate chip cookie and crave a cake that embodies its rich, gooey goodness, look no further than this Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake. This delightful dessert combines the best of both worlds, offering the chewy texture of a cookie and the celebratory feel of a cake. It’s perfect for birthdays, gatherings, or simply when you’re in the mood for a sweet treat. Let’s dive into the details of this irresistible recipe.

Ingredients

Before we begin, gather the following ingredients to ensure a smooth baking experience:

  • 12 tablespoons butter, softened: This will provide the richness and moisture essential for a soft cookie cake.
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar: Adds a deeper, molasses flavor and helps keep the cake moist.
  • 1/2 cup sugar: Balances the sweetness profile.
  • 1 egg + 1 egg yolk: The combination enhances the cake’s texture, making it both tender and chewy.
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla: Infuses the cake with a warm, aromatic flavor.
  • 1 1/2 cups flour: The foundation of your cookie cake.
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt: Enhances all the other flavors.
  • 1/2 teaspoon instant espresso powder: A secret ingredient that intensifies the chocolate flavor.
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder: Helps the cake rise.
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda: Ensures the cake has the perfect texture.
  • 2/3 cup semisweet chocolate chips, plus extra for topping: The star ingredient, providing bursts of chocolate in every bite.

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare Your Baking Arena

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch springform pan or a regular 9-inch cake pan. The springform option is preferred for easy removal and presentation.

Step 2: Cream the Butter and Sugars

In a medium-sized bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar. Beat vigorously for about 60 seconds. This step is crucial for incorporating air into the mixture, resulting in a light and fluffy texture.

Step 3: Add in the Wet Ingredients

Add the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla extract to the creamed mixture. Beat until well combined. The addition of an extra egg yolk enhances the cookie cake’s rich, chewy texture.

Step 4: Combine Dry Ingredients

In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, instant espresso powder, baking powder, and baking soda. Gradually add this dry mixture into the wet ingredients in two batches, beating just until combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to a dense cake.

Step 5: Fold in the Chocolate Chips

Gently stir in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 6: Shape and Bake

Press the dough into your prepared pan, flattening it evenly. Scatter some extra chocolate chips on top for an added visual appeal and chocolatey goodness. Bake in the preheated oven for 23-27 minutes. The center should appear slightly underdone as it will continue to set while cooling.

Step 7: Cool and Decorate (Optional)

Once baked, allow the cookie cake to cool in the pan. For an extra touch of decadence, prepare a half-batch of chocolate buttercream and decorate the top. Add some sprinkles for a festive touch.
