Step 1: Put the pan in the oven.
It is important to preheat the oven to make sure it is hot enough to bake the cake.Allow the oven to fully heat by setting it to 350 degrees.Set aside the cake or pie pan after you grease it.You should keep an eye on your oven to know when it is ready.Most models will flash an indicator light if they reach the desired temperature.If you are worried about the sides sticking to the pan after baking, you can use a springform for the cake.Grease the pan with cooking spray, butter, or margarine.
Step 2: The butter and sugars should be mixed together.
In a large bowl, combine the butter, brown sugar, and white sugar with an electric mixer.The butter and sugars should be fully combined after 2 minutes.The cookie cake batter can be made with a stand mixer.If you don't have an electric mixer, you can blend the batter with a wooden spoon.It will take more time.
Step 3: The egg, egg yolk, and vanilla should be put in a container.
Once the butter and sugars are fully blended, add an egg, another egg yolk, and a small amount of vanilla.It will take 1 to 2 minutes for all of the ingredients to be fully incorporated.
Step 4: The wet ingredients should be mixed with the dry ingredients.
You can add in the dry ingredients after you combine all of the wet ingredients.Add 1 23 cups of flour, 34 cup of baking soda, and 4 grams of salt to the batter.When the ingredients are combined, mix on a low speed.When you add the dry ingredients, be careful not to over mix the batter.If you mix the flour too much, it can cause the cake to be hard.
Step 5: Combine the chocolate chips.
When you mix the dry ingredients into the batter, use a wooden spoon to stir in 1 cup of chocolate chips.For later use, set aside the extra chips.Milk, semi-sweet, dark, and white chocolate chips can be used.You may want to use more than one type.You can add chopped nuts to the cake batter.If you prefer, you can add chopped nuts to the chocolate chips.
Step 6: The batter should be put in the pan.
Carefully press the chocolate chips into the pan after you have stirred the batter.The cake will cook evenly when you place it in the oven if you create a uniform layer with the batter.It is easier to press the batter into the pan if you chill it.You can bake the cake the next day if you make the batter the night before.
Step 7: The chips should be placed at the top of the batter.
You can sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top of the batter when it's pressed into the pan.To keep them in place, gently press them into the batter.If you add nuts to the cake, you can press some of them into the batter.
Step 8: The cookie cake needs to be baked until it is golden brown.
The pan should be placed in the oven on the center rack.The cake can be baked for 22 to 25 minutes.Allow the pan to cool for 10 minutes after you remove it.
Step 9: To transfer the cake to a platter, loosen the edges with a spatula.
To loosen the cake from the pan, run a knife along the edges.Next, use a large spatula to remove the cake from the pan and place it on a platter.To get the cake out of the pan, you have to remove the sides from it.
Step 10: The butter, cocoa powder, and powdered sugar should be mixed together.
While the cake is cooling, mix the butter, cocoa powder, and sugar in a medium size bowl.All of the ingredients are well blended.There is no need to make a chocolate frosting for the cookie cake.If you prefer a simpler frosting, use your favorite buttercream recipe.If you are short on time, canned frosting can be used.
Step 11: When the frosting is smooth, add milk.
Once the butter mixture is well blended, begin stirring in milk.The frosting needs as much milk as possible to be smooth.It's best to use whole milk for the frosting.
Step 12: Place the frosting in a piping bag.
After mixing the frosting, place it in a piping bag with a decorative tip.The frosting should be piped along the outer edge of the cookie cake.Before you pipe the frosting onto the cake, make sure it has cooled.The frosting may melt.If you don't have a piping bag, you can place the frosting in a sealed plastic bag and cut the tip off one of the corners.The frosting would come out of the hole if the bag was squeezed.
Step 13: You can write on the cake with the frosting or decorating gel.
To make the cake more festive for the occasion, use the chocolate frosting in the piping bag or a tube of decorating gel to write a happy birthday message on it.If you are writing with a piping bag, you may need to use a smaller tip.
Step 14: The cake should have some sprinkles.
If you want a more colorful look for the cake, press some bright sprinkles, colored sugar, or dragees into the frosting.The cake can be decorated with colorful candies, such as M&M's.The cake can be decorated with shaved chocolate and mini chocolate chips.
