Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a round cake pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set this mixture aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until creamy and light in color.
- Add the vanilla extract and eggs to the butter mixture and mix until well combined.
- Gradually incorporate the flour mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing slowly.
- Fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula until evenly distributed.
- Pour the cookie dough into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly.
Baking
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Making the Frosting
- While the cake cools, prepare the buttercream frosting. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy.

Notes
For best results, ensure to use room temperature ingredients. Chilling the cookie dough for 30 minutes before baking can improve flavor and texture. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
