Chocolate Chip Funfetti Cookie Cake
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9” circular cake pan. Set aside.
-
With a mixer, beat butter until light and fluffy. Add in brown sugar and granulated sugar, and beat the mixture until well combined.
-
Add in the egg, and beat well until combined.
-
Add in baking soda, salt and vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
-
Add in all purpose flour and corn starch, and mix until just combined.
-
Lastly, add in chocolate chips, white chocolate chips and sprinkles. Mix until all are combined.
-
Spread the cookie dough evenly in your cake pan and bake for about 25 minutes, or until the center is set and the cookie is lightly golden brown.*
-
Allow to cool.
Vanilla Buttercream
-
With a mixer, cream the butter until light and fluffy. Slowly add in the powdered sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing after each addition, beginning with only 2 cups of powdered sugar.
-
Add in vanilla extract and 1 Tbsp heavy cream; mix until combined.
-
If the frosting is too thin, add in some more powdered sugar. If it is too thick, add in the remaining heavy cream.
-
Add a pinch of salt, to taste, as it off sets the sweetness of the frosting.
-
With a piping bag and star tip, pipe frosting onto the chocolate chip cookie cake. Add more sprinkles, if desired.
-
Cut into slices and serve.
*The center of the cookie will be gooier than the edges, and the center will sink a bit as it cools. However, if you want the center to be slightly more ‘done,’ you can bake it for a couple of minutes longer with a piece of foil tented over the top to prevent the edges from over baking.
