🛒 Ingredients:
For the Chocolate Brownie Cake:
- 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 ½ cups (300g) granulated sugar
- ¾ cup (75g) unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup (100g) chocolate chips
For the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough:
- ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup (100g) brown sugar
- ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 ¼ cups (160g) all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¾ cup (150g) chocolate chips
For the Gooey Chocolate Filling:
- 1 cup (250g) chocolate hazelnut spread (Nutella or melted chocolate)
👩🍳 Instructions:
- Make the Brownie Cake Base:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9-inch (23cm) springform pan with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and cocoa powder until smooth and well combined.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until everything is fully incorporated.
- Stir in the flour and salt, then fold in the chocolate chips.
- Pour half of the brownie batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly to cover the bottom.
- Prepare the Cookie Dough:
- In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
- Stir in the flour, baking soda, and salt. Once the dough forms, fold in the chocolate chips.
- Assemble the Cake:
- Spread the chocolate hazelnut spread (Nutella or melted chocolate) evenly over the brownie batter in the pan.
- Gently press the prepared cookie dough over the top of the chocolate hazelnut spread, ensuring it covers the entire surface.
- Pour the remaining brownie batter over the cookie dough layer to seal everything inside.
- Bake & Cool:
- Bake the cake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is set but still slightly gooey in the center. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with some moist crumbs attached.
- Allow the cake to cool for 15 minutes before slicing to ensure the gooey chocolate filling holds together and gives that perfect chocolate lava effect!
- Serve & Enjoy:
Slice the cake and watch the layers of rich chocolatey goodness ooze out! Serve warm for that extra indulgence, and enjoy this mouthwatering treat! 🍫🍪
