Cookie and Cream Cake

One of my favourite things in the whole wide culinary world is simply a cold glass of milk and a couple of chocolate chip cookies, preferably right before bed time. It’s a combination I’ve loved for years, since I was a very young child and that’s probably one of the reasons I like it so much! That was the main inspiration behind making this cake anyhow.

Although I am obsessed with cookies in many different forms/varieties such as, Ben & Jerry’s cookie dough ice-cream, millie’s bakery chewy white chocolate cookies, Maryland double chocolate chip cookies and of course oreos that’s just to name a few! You can find the recipe for my soft style chocolate chip cookies here; http://wp.me/p6UAuA-38

As you can see I’m a cookie fiend & if you feel the same way about the rich biscuit too be sure to try out this cake recipe, I can guarantee you won’t be disappointed!

Ingredients:

For the cake;

100g/4oz butter

100g/4oz Caster sugar

100g/4oz self raising flour

2 eggs

50g/2oz melted milk chocolate

2 crushed cookie biscuits

Filling:

100ml freshly whipped sweetened double cream

Decoration: 

50g/2oz melted milk chocolate

3 chocolate chip cookies

Method:

1.  Cream butter and sugar until light and creamy.
2.  Add a little flour with each egg and stir until everything’s combined.
3. Gently mix in melted chocolate and pour mix into a cake tin.
4. Crush the cookies on top of the cake mixture. ( This way they won’t all sink to the bottom of the cake which tends to happen if you stir the cookie pieces into the cake mix itself)
5. Put in the oven and bake for around 20-25 minutes in a preheated oven at 180°c/160°c fan/gas 4.
6. Once baked, remove from oven and leave to cool before removing cake from the tin.
7. Once removed, slice cake in half and spread/pipe the bottom layer with the whipped cream. Cover the top half with melted chocolate then sandwhich the two halves together.
8. Decorate the top with a few cookies.

Bobs your uncle, you have a simply delicious cookie & cream cake the whole family will enjoy no matter what their age!!
