Description
A layered cake featuring vegan brownie and cookie dough components.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup vegan butter, softened
- 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup non-dairy milk
- 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips (for brownie layer)
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup vegan butter, softened (for cookie dough layer)
- 1 tablespoon non-dairy milk (for cookie dough layer)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (for cookie dough layer)
- 1/4 cup vegan chocolate chips (for cookie dough layer)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease and line two 6-inch round cake pans.
- For the brownie layer: Whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. In a separate bowl, cream together granulated sugar and 1/2 cup vegan butter. Mix in applesauce and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Gradually add dry ingredients alternately with 1/2 cup non-dairy milk, mixing until just combined. Fold in 1/2 cup chocolate chips. Divide batter evenly between the prepared pans.
- Bake the brownie layers for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs attached. Let cool completely.
- For the cookie dough layer: Cream together brown sugar and 1/4 cup vegan butter. Mix in 1 tablespoon non-dairy milk and 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract. Stir in 1/4 cup chocolate chips. This layer will be used as a frosting/filling, so no baking is required for this component.
- Once the brownie layers are cool, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread the cookie dough mixture evenly over the first layer. Top with the second brownie layer.
- Chill the cake for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- You can use a store-bought vegan frosting between the layers if you prefer not to use the cookie dough mixture as filling.
- Ensure your vegan butter is at room temperature for proper creaming.
