Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cake

WE'VE MOVED! Now redirecting you to our new page.

This is not a cake for beginners. I don't mean beginning bakers; it's a pretty straightforward recipe and should give you no trouble. I mean inexperienced cake-eaters. 

See, I consider myself something of a cake-eating champ. (On one infamous occasion Audrey and I once each consumed sizable pieces of three different cakes in one sitting...but that's a story for another time.) If there were a cake-eaters athletic league I would be starting line varsity. I'm the cake-eating quarterback. MVP and team captain. But in this cake, I have met my match. It knocked me down, laid me out, put me on the bench. If I am a cake-eating heavyweight, this cake is a sumo.

Have you had enough of the weird sports-themed analogies? Yeah, me too. Let's change the subject to something more interesting. Namely: peanut butter, chocolate, and cookie dough. All happening at once in this 18-gold-medal-winning cake (sorry, I did just imply that this is the Michael Phelps of cakes; this was the last one for real I promise). It's no wonder this was almost too much for me to handle.

This cake conquered me, but I loved every single minute minute of my defeat. Even the verge-of-comatose sugar OD it caused. (Expect it. Embrace it. Worth it.)

Brown Butter Nutella Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies

These cookies contain three of my most favoritest things: 1. brown butter, 2. chocolate chips, 3. Nutella. Was there ever any doubt that I would be baking them?

(Hint: That was a rhetorical question.)
