Ingredients
For the cake:
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup freshly brewed strong hot coffee
For the chocolate buttercream:
- 1 cup salted butter room temperature
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 4 tablespoons heavy cream
For the cookie dough frosting:
- 12 tablespoon salted butter
- 1 3/4 cups powdered sugar
- 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour*
- 1 1/2 tablespoon whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
Make the cake:
- Preheat oven to 350ºF. Grease and flour 2 round 9-inch cake pans.
- Whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Mix well.
- In a stand mixer (or using an electric mixer), mix the buttermilk, oil, eggs, vanilla together until combined.
- Slowly add in the flour mixture while the mixer is on low and mix until combined.
- Add the coffee and mix until everything is well mixed, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed. The cake batter will be very thin.
- Divide batter between the prepared pans and bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
- Allow the cakes to cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then turn the cakes out onto a wire rack. While the cakes are cooling, make the frostings.
Make the chocolate buttercream:
- In a stand mixer with the beater blade, beat the butter for 1-2 minutes until it is smooth, creamy and nearly white in appearance.
- Add in the salt and vanilla. Mix until incorporated. With the mixer on low speed, slowly add in the powdered sugar and cocoa powder.
- Add the heavy cream, a tablespoon at a time, mixing slowly until it is the consistency that you'd like. Beat for 1 minute on medium speed until smooth and creamy.
Make the cookie dough frosting:
- Cream together the butter and sugars in a stand mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Add the flour* (see note!), milk and vanilla and beat on high until well combined, about 2-3 minutes.
Assemble the cake:
- Place one cake layer on a cake plate. Frost the top of the first cake with the cookie dough frosting.
- Then layer the other half of the cake on top. Frost the outside of the entire cake using an offset spatula with the chocolate buttercream frosting.
- Place remaining cookie dough frosting in a piping bag or Ziploc bag (with on tip cut off). Pipe dollops of frosting the bottom edge and top edge, or as desired. Top with chocolate chip cookie crumbles.
Notes
- *To make raw cookie dough frosting, place the raw flour on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Bake at 350ºF for 5 minutes. Allow the flour to cool and use as directed in the recipe.
- *You can use 8-inch cake pans instead if you'd like. They may take a minute or two longer to bake
- *Refer to the article above for more tips and tricks.
