I am a total wanna-be cook. I try so hard… but I’m just missing the cooking gene. Don’t get me wrong, my family is well fed, it’s just that it’s not my calling in life. I should definitely keep my day job if-you-know-what-I-mean. Now baking… that’s my thing! I LOVE to bake!
When I saw this recipe I had ideas popping all through my mind! Thanks to my “Book Worm Daughter” and her ideas we made a real winner! It’s decadent and the best of cake plus cookie dough… and just enough chocolate to make the chocolate lover happy too! Make this and feel like you are living a DREAM!
This is a total “Cheat recipe” I used a box cake mix and prepared glaze and I’m not ashamed to admit it… just don’t tell anyone okay?
See all the fun mixing going on!
It turns into this glorious pretend chocolate chip cookie dough. No, this is not a dream… it tastes just like the real stuff!
Be careful! If there are little ones in your house be prepared to fight them off as they try to steal your “tools of the trade”. Or just do as I did and hand them over to them… it keeps them happy and busy so you can spread the love cookie dough filling. Then pour on the glaze! Voila! Dreamy Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cake! Enjoy!

LOL! My desserts are all “cheaters” aka… even a baking challenged Dad can make them!!!
Thanks for stopping by!
Wow Heather… I need a new keyboard now. Baking is something I love doing, but there are days I prefer going the “cheating” root just so I can have something guaranteed yummy! Printing this off and so trying it. Back to my drooling I go!
Awesome! Hope you enjoy it!
Wowza this looks so incredibly yummy, definitely have to try this one.
I tried to make this I followed the recipe to the T and the cookie dough tastes nasty I don’t know what I did but it just doesn’t taste right. I was so excited that I had to bake it so now i have two cakes and nothing to put in it.
Sorry you don’t like it
everyone that’s made it has loved it. I’d recommend just adding frosting to your cake and eating it that way! Should taste great!
What could make it taste like flour that is all I taste I would really like to make it right just don’t know what to add to it to make it taste better.
That looks so yummy!!! I might have to give this way a try! Thank you
Ohhh… wow, I think I may just need to make the fake cookie dough and freeze balls or.. just eat it. Yummmy! SFE
This looks delicious. It’s a must try!!!
This sounds and looks yummy, may make this for my sons birthday party in a few months.
This looks really good.
OMG this is a MUST TRY…thanks!!!
You should, it’s so good!
