  • cups unsalted butter softened
  • 1 Tbsp pure vanilla extract
  • ¾ tsp kosher salt
  • 1 cup rainbow Funfetti sprinkles
  • 1 cup chocolate chips semi-sweet or plain
  • 6 Tbsp whole milk

For the Chocolate Frosting

For the Chocolate Ganache

  • 1 cup chocolate chips semi-sweet or plain
  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream double cream

For Decorating

  • 2 cups rainbow Funfetti sprinkles

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F/Gas 4. Spray 3 9in round cake pans with nonstick baking spray and set them aside.
  • To make the cake, use an electric stand or handheld mixer, and beat the oil, vanilla, sugar, and eggs together until combined.
  • Using another large bowl, sift or whisk the flour, cocoa, baking powder, and salt.
  • Gradually beat the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until combined.
  • Fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Divide the batter between the three prepared cake pans.
  • Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
  • Leave to cool completely in the pans before transferring to a wire rack.
  • To make the cookie dough frosting, use an electric stand or handheld mixer, and beat the butter and sugar until creamy and fluffy.
  • Beat in the vanilla, salt, milk, and flour.
  • Fold in the sprinkles and the chocolate chips until combined. Set aside.
  • To make the chocolate frosting, use an electric stand or handheld mixer, and beat all of the listed ingredients until combined, smooth, and holds a peak.
  • Scoop the frosting into a piping bag fitted with a star tip and set it aside.
  • To make the chocolate ganache, place the cream into a small pan over medium heat and bring to a simmer.
  • Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips in a medium bowl. Leave for one minute then whisk until smooth.
  • To assemble to cake, add a blob of chocolate frosting to the center of a 10-inch cake board and place one layer of cake in place.


    Chocolate Cake Layer
  • Spread a thin layer of the ganache on this first layer to act as the "glue" for the cookie dough frosting.


    Chocolate Frosting on Cake Layer
  • Scoop 1 cup of the cookie dough frosting onto the top and spread evenly using a spatula.


  • Place the second cake layer on top of the frosting. Add another layer of ganache and scoop another 1 cup of cookie dough frosting on top and spread evenly using a spatula.
  • Place the third cake layer on top and set the cake aside.


    All the Cake Layers
  • Using a small ice cream scoop, scoop balls of cookie dough frosting onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and set them aside.
  • Place the remaining ganache into a squeeze bottle. Squeeze chocolate around the edge of the cake to create a drip effect and use any remaining ganache to fill in the circle.
  • Add some sprinkles to the top layer of the cake.
  • Alternate between piping a chocolate frosting swirl and a scoop of cookie dough frosting around the top of the cake.


  • Place the cake into the fridge to harden before cutting. Enjoy!
