Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (heat-treated for safety)
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Sweeteners and Liquids:
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 ½ cups brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons milk
- ½ cup heavy cream
Flavor Enhancers and Dry Ingredients:
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
- Craft the Brownie Foundation by heating the oven to 350F (175C) and preparing three 8-inch round pans with parchment and grease. Whisk sugar and oil until silky, then incorporate eggs and vanilla for a uniform mixture.
- Sift flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a separate vessel. Gently fold dry ingredients into wet mixture, stirring minimally to maintain a tender texture.
- Distribute batter evenly across prepared pans, baking for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick reveals moist crumbs. Allow brownies to cool completely at room temperature.
- Create cookie dough by creaming butter and brown sugar until airy and light. Introduce vanilla and integrate heat-treated flour thoroughly.
- Splash milk into the mixture, adjusting consistency for a smooth dough. Fold mini chocolate chips throughout the mixture.
- Prepare ganache by heating heavy cream until steaming in a microwave-safe container. Pour warm cream over chocolate chips and allow to rest momentarily.
- Gently stir ganache until achieving a glossy, uniform appearance with no visible chocolate chunks.
- Construct cake layers by positioning first brownie round on serving plate. Spread half the cookie dough evenly across the surface.
- Layer second brownie round and cover with remaining cookie dough. Crown with final brownie layer.
- Cascade ganache over the entire cake, allowing delectable drips to form along the sides.
- Refrigerate for 30 minutes to set the decadent layers and enhance structural integrity.
- Garnish with additional mini chocolate chips or a luxurious ganache drizzle before presenting this indulgent dessert.
Notes
- Heat-treat flour by microwaving at 30-second intervals, stirring between each, to eliminate potential bacteria and make the cookie dough safe to eat.
- Use room temperature ingredients for smoother mixing and better texture in both brownie and cookie dough layers.
- Choose high-quality cocoa powder and chocolate chips for richer, more intense flavor profiles.
- Allow each layer to cool completely before assembling to prevent structural collapse and maintain clean, distinct layers.
