Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease three 8-inch round cake pans.
- Prepare the cookie dough layer by creaming together unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy. Mix in milk and vanilla, then gradually add flour and salt before folding in mini chocolate chips.
- For the cake batter, beat together unsalted butter and sugar until creamy. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla. In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt; alternately add this mixture with whole milk and Greek yogurt to the wet ingredients. Fold in mini chocolate chips.
- Pour the cake batter evenly into prepared pans; drop globs of cookie dough on top of each pan.
- Bake for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely on wire racks before frosting.
- For the buttercream, beat unsalted butter until creamy; gradually add powdered sugar and mix in flour, brown sugar, milk, vanilla extract, salt, and mini chocolate chips.
- Assemble the cake by layering the cakes with buttercream between each layer and frost the entire outside with more buttercream.
- Prepare ganache by heating heavy cream until simmering; pour over chopped chocolate and stir until smooth. Drizzle over the frosted cake.
