When it comes to cake in the summer, ice cream DEFINITELY must be involved! Enter: Ice Cream flavors like Oregon Strawberry, Mudslide, and Cookie Dough. Add to that, a very thin layer of brownies and cookies and it’s game over. This is decadence x100 and I make no apologies.
Ingredients
For the Brownie layer:
1 ¼ cups white sugar
¾ cup cocoa powder
½ tsp salt
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 large eggs
½ cup all purpose flour
For the Cookie Dough layer:
½ cup Tillamook Extra Creamy Unsalted Butter, at room temp
¼ cup brown sugar
¾ cup white sugar
1 egg
1 ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ¼ cups all purpose flour
½ tsp salt
½ tsp baking soda
½ tsp baking powder
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
The Ice Cream layers:
For the Brownie layer:
In a medium saucepan, melt the Tillamook butter over medium high heat.
Add the sugar and cocoa powder once the butter is melted. Whisk to combine and remove from heat.
Add the salt, vanilla and eggs and continuously whisk until the eggs are
combined.Add the flour and continue to mix. Set batter aside.
For the Cookie Dough layer:
Cream together the Tillamook butter and sugars in a mixer.
Add the eggs and vanilla, making sure to scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl.
Add the flour, salt, baking soda and baking powder and mix on low until everything is incorporated.
Fold in the chocolate chips. Set dough aside
Assembly:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Line the bottom of a 9 inch springform baking pan with tin foil and then spray the tin foil with a layer of baking spray.
Layer the cookie dough on the bottom of the baking pan, pressing down to form the bottom of the cake.
Pour the brownie batter on top of the cookie layer and smooth.
Bake for 30-35 minutes. Test with a knife to see if the center is done. If the knife
comes out clean. If the knife comes out with batter still on it, allow the brownies to bake about 5 minutes more. Remove from the oven and transfer to the freezer to chill.Once the cake is chilled and while it's still in a springform pan, spread one of the
Tillamook ice creams on top of the brownie layer. Transfer the entire dish to the
freezer and freeze for 30 minutes.Repeat with the remaining ice cream layers and freeze again for 30 minutes each.
On the last freeze, let it sit in the freezer for at least 4 hours and then slice and serve.
