Instructions
Fluffy Vanilla Cake
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour three 6-inch cake pans and set aside
- In a small mixing bowl or liquid measuring cup, stir together the egg whites, vanilla, and ¼ cup milk and set aside.
- Sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt into the bowl of an electric mixer. With the paddles attachment, mix on low until combined. Add the butter and remaining ½ cup milk and mix on low until the dry ingredients are moistened. Turn the mixer to medium-high and mix until combined. Stop the mixer and scrape down the bowl.
- With the mix running on medium-low, gradually stream in the egg white mixture. Work in about 3 batches, making sure everything is incorporated before adding in more liquids, scraping the bowl in between additions.
- Evenly distribute the batter between the prepared pans. Bake for 24 to 26 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack for 10 to 15 minutes before removing the cakes from their pans.
Cookie Dough Filling
- In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream the brown sugar and butter together on medium until fluffy and combined.
- Add in the vanilla, flour, and salt. On low speed, mix until incorporated. Gradually increase the speed and add in the milk until desired consistency is reached.
- Fold in the chips until evenly distributed.
Milk Soak
- Whisk together all of the ingredients until combined.
Whipped Vanilla Frosting
- Using an electric mixer, beat the butter and cream cheese together on medium until smooth.
- With the mixer on low, gradually add in the remaining ingredients.
- Once the sugar begins to incorporate, turn the mixer up to medium-high and mix until light and fluffy (3 to 5 minutes).
- Adjust the sugar and cream quantities until desired consistency is achieved.
Assembly
- Once the cakes have completely cooled, trim until even. Generously brush each layer with the milk soak.
- Place the bottom layer of cake on a cake plate or serving dish. Spread on half of the filling. Top with the next layer of cake and repeat.
- Frost the cake with the whipped buttercream and decorate with mini chips (flat/bottom side out).
