Instructions
- Prepare the cookie dough layer by creaming butter and sugars until fluffy. Mix in milk and vanilla, then fold in flour and chocolate chips. Freeze the mixture.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease three 8-inch round baking pans.
- Make the vanilla cake batter by beating butter and sugar until light. Add eggs one at a time, then alternate adding dry ingredients with milk and yogurt until combined.
- Divide the batter among pans and bake for about 30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool completely.
- For the buttercream, beat softened butter and gradually add sugars, flour, milk, vanilla, salt, and chocolate chips until smooth.
- Assemble the cake by layering cake rounds with cookie dough buttercream in between.
- Create the ganache by heating cream and pouring it over chopped chocolate; stir until smooth and pour over the assembled cake.
