I just made this for my boyfriend's birthday! He's not home yet, so we'll see how he likes it - obviously, if it's as good as it looks, he's going to love it! I sort of cheated when I made the cookie "dough." I didn't wait for it to harden (he could've been home any minute!), so I just spread the dough out like a layer in between the frosting. Not as fun, but it seems like it will get the job done! Thanks so much for this great idea!

This is an amazing recipe! I can't wait to make it from scratch but for the first time around I took some shortcuts. I used a store bought devil's food cake, (sorry), and because it wasn't as dense as a homemade, I made the cookie dough balls much smaller and kind of incorporated them into the frosting,(only for the middle layer part). The result was fabulous and it was the perfect B-day cake for my 18 yr old son. Everyone loved it! Thanks for sharing this winner!

Thanks so much for your response. I do not have a thermometer but I think I will get one. If a recipe has a range on when it's done, it's usually done the earlier time. It was pretty brown on top but overall the cake was still good.

Thank you! My family enjoyed it very much!

I'm so sorry you're having trouble with the cake - bummer! My first thought is that your oven might run "hot." Do you have an oven thermometer, something like this? http://www.amazon.com/CDN-High-Heat-Oven-Thermometer/dp/B0021AEAIK/ref=pd_sim_k_1

Many ovens aren't actually the temperature you set it to. They can be off by just a few degrees or 20 or more. I know mine runs a bit hot. It does sound like the first one had to do with ingredients, but the second time, with self-rising flour, sounds like a temperature issue. Do you have problems with other things you've baked?

Hi. I've attempted to make this cake twice. The first time it overflowed over the pan & was half cooked. I had used baking powder instead of soda so I figured that was why. So the next time I bought the self rising flour so I didn't have to worry about that at all. It didn't overflow this time, but I couldn't get it cooked all the way through with out it being to done on the top. What am I doing wrong? Please help

2012-02-09T12:01:53.203-05:00

Hi, Annie! You can either leave it out altogether or just add some extra vanilla extract. Please let me know how it goes - I'd love to hear! And feel free to email me if you have any questions along the way. Have fun!

Hi Kelly! I am making this for my husband's birthday tomorrow and I have everything except for the butter flavoring. I am having a hard time finding it. Can I substitute something else?? Thanks so much! I am so excited to give this recipe a try!

Thanks for the help! =)

Hi KattyRae! Yes, granulated sugar is correct. My guess is that the frosting needed to be beaten longer. It takes a while for it to really whip up and get fluffy/less "buttery". You can start it out at a lower speed, but I'd recommend keeping it on med-high to high for the entire time, stopping to scrap the bowl if it looks like I needs it.

I'm so glad you gave it a go and that the PDF helped!

Hi!
Thanks for posting this recipe! I've been drooling over it on pinterest for some time and decided to make it yesterday! I was very impressed with your PDF file, it made everything so easy! I'm not that good in the kitchen, so having all the recipes together was an extreme help.
I have one question:
As mentioned above, I'm not that good in the kitchen, and I may have run into a snag with the buttercream icing. In the recipe it says to use 1 cup sugar; I used granulated white sugar, was I supposed to use confectioner's sugar? It came out a little too buttery, but I also tried whipping it at a slow speed before speeding it up for the last 6 minutes, so that could be my problem.
Again, thank you so much for posting this recipe! I love it!

I'm really new at this. Where do you find no bake cookie dough?

Thank you. I really appreciate your kind words!

2012-02-01T13:47:52.651-05:00

You cake looks great and I'm so glad you liked it! My guess is that the pan size had something to do with the heaviness of the cake. But that got me thinking - how (even more) incredible would this be if you kept the 6" cakes but cut them in half so that you had FOUR layers. OMG, can you imagine?! Might have to give that a try! :)

I went ahead and created a PDF of the recipes so they're in one place if you want to make it another time. I hope that helps!

Will do! I'm making it today!

I made this cake this weekend for a party and it was great! Although I found the cake to really heavy - I made it in 2 6inch cake pans so I wonder if that had something to do with it? The instructions were a little hard to follow as I had open many links but otherwise I feel it was great. I posted a pick of my cake - linking to your recipe on my blog!

Thanks!

Why does honest feedback have to be given anonymously? Constructive criticism, when given calmly and professionally, is a good thing. Disappointing - but Kelly you responded very positively and well. Impressive!
