Preparation of Cookie Dough

  2. Add in the salt, then gradually mix in the flour until a dough forms.
  3. Stir in the mini chocolate chips and set aside.
Bake the Cake
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In another bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Mix until smooth.
  4. Grease a 9-inch round cake pan, pour in the batter, and bake for about 25-30 minutes.
  5. Let it cool completely on a wire rack.
Assemble the Layers
  1. Once the cake has cooled, slice it horizontally into two even layers.
  2. Place one layer on a serving platter and spread a thick, even layer of cookie dough on top.
  3. Save a small portion of the cookie dough for garnish if desired.
Add the Ice Cream
  1. Spoon a generous layer of softened vanilla ice cream on top of the cookie dough.
  2. Carefully place the second layer of cake on top.
  3. Spread whipped cream over the top and add extra mini chocolate chips for garnish.
Freeze and Serve

  2. Let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes before slicing.
  3. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

For best results, soften the ice cream for easy spreading. Taste test each layer before freezing.
