Chocolate Chip Birthday Cookie Cake Recipes

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the center of the oven, and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line the bottom of a 9-inch round cake pan with a parchment circle. Butter the parchment and the sides of the pan.
• For the cookie layer: Whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt in a large bowl; set aside. Beat the butter and both sugars with an electric mixer on medium-high speed in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add the egg, and beat until incorporated. Beat in the vanilla. Scrape down the bowl as needed. Reduce the speed to medium, add the flour mixture and beat until just incorporated. Stir in the chocolate chips.
• Press the cookie dough into an even layer in the prepared cake pan, and bake until golden brown and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Let the layer cool for about 10 minutes. It will collapse slightly as it cools. To make the layer even, press the bottom and sides down with the bottom of a measuring cup.
• For the cake layer: Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl; set aside. Beat the granulated sugar and oil with an electric mixer on medium-high speed in a large bowl until light in color and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Beat in the vanilla. Alternate folding the flour mixture and the milk into the batter with a spatula, adding the flour in three additions and the milk in two, starting and ending with the flour, until just smooth. Stir in the sprinkles. (The cake batter will be on the thin side, like a thick pancake batter.)
• Pour the cake batter over the cookie layer, and bake until the middle of the cake springs back when pressed and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes. Run a knife around the edge of the cake, and let cool completely in the pan on a rack. Transfer the cake from the pan to a serving plate, with the cookie layer on the bottom.
• For the frosting: Beat the cream cheese and granulated sugar with an electric mixer on medium-high speed in a large bowl until smooth and all the sugar has dissolved (rub some between your fingers; if it's gritty, keep beating). Add the cream and vanilla, and continue to beat until medium peaks form. Frost the cake, and decorate with more sprinkles.

Steps:

• Beat butter and sugars together.
• Add eggs and vanilla.

Gradually stir flour mixture into butter mixture until just combined. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts. Spread cookie batter into prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden and the cake springs back when lightly pressed, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool before cutting into 2-inch squares.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a round cake pan.
• Stir flour, baking powder, and salt together in a small bowl with a wooden spoon.
• Beat brown sugar and butter together with an electric mixer for about 3 minutes. Add egg and vanilla; mix until blended. Add dry ingredients until completely mixed. Stir in chocolate chips with a wooden spoon. Scrape the dough into the prepared cake pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean with just a few crumbs on it, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and place on a cooling rack for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Whip the chilled cream with an electric mixer on low speed until thick. Mix in sugar and vanilla.
• Spread whipped cream on top of the cake and add strawberries.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Spray a 15 inch flat pizza pan or 10 inch springform pan with pan spray to prevent sticking.
• Mix flour, soda and salt, set aside.
• Beat butter and shortening in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed to just combine.
• mix in sugars; beat with electric mixer until mixture is smooth. Mix in egg and vanilla on low speed until blended thoroughly.
• Add flour mixture, mixing just until incorporated.
• Mix in chocolate chips, stir by hand.
• Using fingers, spread dougn into a 10 inch circle on the pizza or springform pan. Smooth edges.
• If using the pizza pan, bake cookie about 14 minutes, until edges are light brown and center is golden.
• If using the springform pan, bake for about 18 minutes, until evenly light brown. Loosen the edge of the cookie from the pan, cool thoroughly. Remove sides of springform pan.
• Optional: Put spoonfuls of peanut butter on top of the cookie as it's cooling; allow it to 'melt' slightly and then spread around. Sprinkle with chocolate chips, allow those to melt and spread around.
