Ingredients
Cake Ingredients
- 1 cup Butter, at room temperature Adds moisture and richness
- 1 cup Panela or light brown sugar Contributes sweetness and a slight caramel flavor
- 1 Egg Provides binding and moisture
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Enhances overall flavor
- 1 teaspoon Baking Soda Helps with leavening
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder Aids in rising
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt Balances sweetness
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour Forms the structure
- 1 cup Chocolate Chips Adds sweetness and texture
Frosting Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter, softened Provides creaminess
- 2 cups Powdered Sugar Adds sweetness and smoothness
- 2 tablespoons Milk Adjusts frosting consistency
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt Enhances flavor
Instructions
Preparation
- Begin by creaming together the butter and panela (or light brown sugar) in a mixing bowl until the mixture is light and fluffy.
- Next, add in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the baking soda, baking powder, salt, and all-purpose flour.
- Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing gently until just incorporated.
- Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula, being careful not to break them apart.
- Pour the dough into a greased baking pan, spreading it into an even layer.
Baking
- Bake the cookie cake in a preheated oven until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the cookie cake cools, prepare the frosting by beating the unsalted butter until creamy.
- Gradually mix in the powdered sugar and milk to achieve a smooth consistency.
- Once the cookie cake is completely cool, spread the frosting evenly on top.
- Lastly, sprinkle a pinch of salt over the frosted cake to enhance the flavors.
Notes
Ensure butter is at room temperature for easy creaming. Avoid overmixing the dough to keep the texture soft. Allow the cookie cake to cool completely before frosting.
