Celebrate that special mama in your life this coming weekend with this moist chocolate cake frosted with a perfectly edible chocolate chip cookie dough frosting...
In less than a week, Mother's Day will be here!
As a mama myself, I can't think of a better way to celebrate this special day than with some homemade treats as sweet all my favorite mothers out there.
This week I will be sharing some very special recipes for sweet treats that you can make and share with your favorite mamas and grandmamas this coming weekend.
Or you could whip one or two of these up and just keep them for yourself... ;)
I am starting with this recipe for this delicious Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Chocolate Cake. I originally made this for my husband's birthday in March, but what mother doesn't love cookie dough? (Or should I say, what woman doesn't love cookie dough?)
Especially when it is slathered and piped all over a moist homemade chocolate cake...
This cake only looks super labor intensive, but it is actually a lot easier to make than you may think. A simple pastry bag and frosting tip only make this cake look like it took hours to frost and decorate. ;) You can even make it easier by skipping a from scratch chocolate cake recipe and just using your favorite boxed chocolate cake mix.
And the cookie dough frosting? Easy and crazy amazing.
I have kind of been obsessed with making something using an edible cookie dough frosting since I saw the recipe for this frosting on Busy Mom's Helper blog a few months back.
My husband is obsessed with snagging cookie dough every time I bake cookies, & he literally sulks if he doesn't get to lick the bowl after I have baked cookies. So I knew I was going to be saving this recipe for his birthday this year...
This Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Chocolate Cake was a huge hit at my husband's birthday party. In fact, my teenage nephew made a point to tell me that my cake looked and tasted better than the ones you could buy at a bakery. I always take the compliments of a teenage boy very seriously- those are hard to come by, am I right? ;)
Who will you be baking up this cake for this weekend? Your mama? Your grandma? Yourself (& that is totally okay!)?
