CAKE
- 2 1⁄4 cups unsifted flour
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 cup butter, softened
- 1 1⁄2 cups firmly packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (I use 2)
- 2 eggs, divided
- 1 1⁄4 cups milk
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate, mini-morsels (Nestles)
-
FROSTING
- 1⁄3 cup butter
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate, mini-morsels (Nestles)
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
- 5 tablespoons milk
directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Grease and flour two 8 or 9 inch pans or one 10 inch Bundt pan.
- In a small bowl, combine flour, soda and salt.
- In large bowl, combine butter, brown sugar and vanilla. Beat until creamy.
- Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Alternately beat in flour mixture and milk.
- Stir in mini-morsels.
- Pour into prepared pans.
- Bake 35 minutes for layers or 45 minutes for Bundt cake.
- NOTE- DO NOT test for doneness by piercing cake because it may deflate if you do.
- Cool 15 minutes in pans.
- Remove from pans and cool completely on wire racks.
-
FROSTING:
- In small saucepan, melt butter.
- Stir in mini-morsels until melted.
- Add salt and vanilla.
- Gradually beat in confectioner's sugar and milk until creamy and fluffy. I beat this for at least 10 minutes. The longer you beat it, the better is tastes.
- Makes enough to fill and frost 2 layers (about 2 1/4 cups of frosting).

My daughter loves cookie cakes, especially when her birthday rolls around. This year, I made this recipe for her birthday. Am I glad I did! It was the best cake I've ever made. I was so impressed with how much it resembled a real cookie cake, but in a real 2 layer cake form! The icing tastes just like my grandmother's homemade fudge recipe. This is a true winner cake!!! Thank you Realtor by day, Chef by night! You made her birthday so special!

I enjoyed the flavor and texture of this cake, however, next time, I'll remove it from the oven @ 45 minutes...I cooked it for 50 minutes in my Bundt pan, and it was probably done at 45 minutes. I never knew how much I depend on the 'stick test' for doneness :-) Now, I know! I shared this with friends and it was enjoyed by all! Thanks for sharing, Realtor!

I'm a full-time Realtor for Century 21 Graham Realty during the day and at night I'm a wife and mother of one 6 year old daughter, Angelina plus one small dorkie dog (dachshund-yorkie mix) named Petey. I love to cook and experiment with new recipes. I've been collecting cookbooks (I have a few hundred) and recipes for as long as I can remember. I like to buy recipe boxes at yard sales and auctions and peak through them for yummy recipe gems. I've found some really amazing recipes that way. I'm a huge fan of Le Creuset enameled cast iron cookware. I've been collecting different pieces for a few years now. I always considered myself a great cook but these pans raise things to a whole new level.
I'm planning to post all of my favorite recipes that I've collected over the years. I have all these clippings and pieces of paper and magazine clips that are everywhere. My recipe boxes are packed with these things and it's time to organize the whole mess. I suppose it will take years (did I say years?!?) to get them all posted but it's worth it. So keep checking back to my posts for new goodies. I can't wait to see what long lost gems turn up. I've already run across several of my old favs. Isn't it nice to have all your best recipes all organized right here? I've also been printing them out and putting them in a nice new binder where I can actually find them when I want to make them. I LOVE this site.
I have found some of the best recipes EVER right here on 'Zaar. There are some fantastic cooks here and I just want to say "Thank you" to all of you who have made me look like the greatest cook on the planet with your wonderful recipes. I try to make as many new ones each week as I can. It's so much fun experimenting. My DH of 9 years is my guinea pig- he will eat ANYTHING I put in front of him. My little girl... well, she's more of a challenge to please. Not really picky but she doesn't really like meat or stuffing or peppers or mushrooms or.... oh, the new one is onions. I could go on but you get the idea. You probably have or had one just like her. They seem to learn all about these things that they don't like at school. All of the sudden...they don't like something they've been eating for 3 years because their friend "Alyssa" doesn't like it. What a challenge it is feeding these little creatures! That's her and Petey in the picture above.
