Ingredients

For the Brownie Layers:

1 cup unsalted butter, melted

2 cups granulated sugar

4 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

For the Cookie Dough Layer:

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened

3/4 cup brown sugar, packed

1/4 cup granulated sugar

2 tablespoons milk

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup mini chocolate chips

For the Chocolate Ganache:

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

1/2 cup heavy cream


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Brownie Layers:
    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 9-inch round cake pans. Whisk melted butter and sugar together. Add eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract. Sift in flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Mix until just combined. Divide the batter between the pans and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with a few moist crumbs. Cool completely.
  2. Make the Cookie Dough Layer:
    Cream softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy. Add milk and vanilla. Stir in flour and salt, then fold in mini chocolate chips. Spread evenly over one cooled brownie layer.
  3. Prepare the Ganache:
    Microwave chocolate chips and heavy cream in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Let cool slightly.
  4. Assemble the Cake:
    Place the second brownie layer on top of the cookie dough layer. Pour ganache over the top, letting it drip down the sides. Allow the ganache to set for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
