Ingredients
Scale
- 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
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 ½ cups brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 2 tbsps milk
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ½ cup cocoa powder
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ½ tsps vanilla extract
Instructions
- Brownie Preparation: Preheat oven to 350F (175C) and line three 8-inch round pans with parchment. Whisk oil and sugar until smooth, then blend in eggs and vanilla for a cohesive mixture.
- Dry Ingredient Integration: Sift flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Delicately fold dry ingredients into wet mixture, ensuring minimal mixing to preserve a tender crumb.
- Baking Process: Pour batter evenly into prepared pans, baking 20-25 minutes until a toothpick reveals moist crumbs. Cool brownies completely at room temperature.
- Cookie Dough Creation: Cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Incorporate vanilla and heat-treated flour, blending thoroughly.
- Dough Finalization: Add milk to achieve optimal consistency, then gently fold mini chocolate chips throughout the mixture.
- Ganache Development: Microwave heavy cream until steaming. Pour over chocolate chips, allowing brief resting period before stirring to create a glossy, seamless sauce.
- Cake Assembly: Position first brownie layer on serving plate, spreading half the cookie dough evenly across the surface. Place second brownie round and cover with remaining cookie dough.
- Final Layering and Finishing: Top with final brownie layer, then cascade ganache over entire cake, allowing elegant drips to form along sides.
- Chilling and Decoration: Refrigerate 30 minutes to set layers and enhance structural integrity. Embellish with additional mini chocolate chips or ganache drizzle before serving this decadent dessert.
Notes
- Prevent Overmixing: Stir brownie batter minimally to maintain a tender, fudgy texture and avoid tough, dense cakes.
- Heat-Treat Flour Safely: Microwave flour at 165°F for 1-2 minutes to eliminate potential bacteria, ensuring safe raw cookie dough consumption.
- Control Ganache Consistency: Let chocolate and cream rest briefly after mixing to achieve a smooth, glossy finish without grainy texture.
- Chilling Technique: Refrigerate cake for 30 minutes to stabilize layers, making slicing cleaner and enhancing overall structural integrity.
