COOKIE DOUGH BROWNIE CAKE

You understand when you make an great dessert, take it in your mom’s residence for Sunday dinner, and simplest consume a tiny piece due to the fact you’re too full from dinner to consume more?   And you then discover your self sitting at the sofa at 9pm wishing you brought a chunk home with you?

As far as layer desserts pass, this one is quite smooth.  A simple brownie recipe is baked into three 8-inch layers, and it’s full of my favorite cookie dough frosting then doused in a layer of chocolate ganache.  It’s messy, wealthy, dense and hits the spot with a big dollop of whipped cream on pinnacle.

In case you want to be extra fancy, double your ganache recipe and drizzle it over the slices after you serve it.  Or, serve this with a huge scoop of vanilla ice cream, it it'll flavor exactly like a brownie sundae made with cookie dough frosting.
