Instructions
 

For the cake:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare three 8" cake pans with pam and parchment.
  • In a medium bowl combine eggs, egg white and the vanilla. Set aside.
  • In a bowl with an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine dry ingredients and mix on a low speed for 30 seconds.
  • Add butter and milk. Mix on a low speed until just combined. Increase to medium speed and mix for 1-2 minutes.
  • Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add egg mixture in 2 separate batches. Beat on medium speed until it is just combined.
  • Divide batter into three cake pans. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Let cakes cool on wire racks until completely cool.

For the buttercream:

  • In a mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, combine butter and cream cheese. Mix until light and fluffy. About 3 minutes.
  • Slowly add powdered sugar on a low speed.
  • Add milk and vanilla extract.
  • Mix until light and fluffy.

For the cookie dough:

  • In a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, combine butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
  • Add vanilla extract.
  • Add flour and salt. Mix until combined.
  • Stir in mini chocolate chips and sprinkles.
  • Set aside 1/3 of the dough for the cake filling. Use remaining 2/3 to roll into small balls for the topping.

ASSEMBLY

  • Once cakes are cool, take them out of the pans, and place one layer onto a cake plate. Using an offset spatula, spread 3/4 cup of frosting on the cake. Crumble cookie dough, and mini chocolate chips in the middle of the cake.
  • Add the second layer and repeat.
  • Turn the third layer upside down (so the bottom is face up) and gently place it on top of the first layer.
  • Use the remaining frosting to frost the rest of the cake. Start with a generous amount on the top and work your way to the sides.
  • Place an upside down cake pan in the middle of a baking sheet. Place the cake on top of the cake pan.
  • Cover the sides of the cake in sprinkles and mini chocolate chips.
  • Add cookie dough balls to the top of the cake.
