- Prepare the Buttercream: Beat butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, then vanilla and heavy cream, beating until fluffy.
- Assemble the Cake: Spread cookie dough filling between each cake layer. Frost the outside with buttercream.
- Make the Edible Cookie Dough: Combine butter, brown sugar, milk, heat-treated flour, and chocolate chips. Roll into balls and top the cake.
- Serve: Chill for 1 hour before slicing and enjoy!
Notes
For a safer cookie dough, ensure the flour is heat-treated.
