FULL RECIPE LISTED BELOW
Gemma's Chocolate Brownie Layer Cake with Cookie Dough Frosting
INGREDIENTS
1 ¾ cups (15oz/427g) all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons dark unsweetened cocoa powder
16 ½ oz (465g) dark chocolate, coarsely chopped
1 ½ cup (12oz/337g) unsalted butter
2 ¼ cups (18oz/ 510g) granulated sugar
¾ cups (6oz/168g) packed light brown sugar
7 eggs at room temperature
3 tsp vanilla extract
METHOD
To make the Brownies:
1. Preheat the oven to 350oF (180oC). Butter and line a 9” springform or cake tin.
2.. Put the chocolate and butter in a large bowl and set it over a saucepan of simmering water or place in the microwave. Stirring occasionally, until the chocolate and butter are completely melted and smooth. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool a little.
3. Add the sugars. Whisk until completely combined. The mixture should be room temperature.
4. Whisk the eggs and vanilla in a jug together. Add a little of the eggs to the chocolate mixture and whisk until combined. Add the remaining eggs and whisk until combined. Do not overbeat the batter at this stage or your brownies will be cakey.
5. Sift the flour, salt and cocoa over the chocolate mixture. Using a rubber spatula (not a whisk), fold the flour mixture into the chocolate until just a bit of the flour mixture is visible.
6. Pour the batter into your lined and buttered. Bake in the center of the oven on a tray for 1 hour 20 minutes. This is a very heavy brownie and does need quite some time to cook.
There should be still a jiggle in the center of the cake, that says it fudgy in the middle.
7. Let the brownies cool completely before cutting. It can be made up to 2 days in advance or it can be frozen beforehand also.
8. Store at room temperature in an airtight container.
Frosting
(www.chef-in-tra...)
INGREDIENTS
1 cup (8 oz/225g) cream cheese, softened
10 Tbsp. butter, softened
1 ⅓ cup brown sugar
2 tsp. vanilla
4 Tbsp. milk, more if needed to reach desired consistency
1 cup flour
6 cups powdered sugar, more if needed to reach desired consistency
1 ⅓ cup mini chocolate chips
METHOD
1. Cream softened cream cheese and butter together in a large bowl.
2. Add brown sugar and vanilla and evenly beat together.
3. Add powdered sugar and whisk to evenly incorporate until smooth. (If you need to add a little milk to thin it, feel free to do so. I prefer my frosting thick so I never needed to)
4. Next add in the milk, flour and mini chocolate chips.
5. Wrap the frosting and set it in the fridge for about 15 minutes. It thickens up pretty nicely and make it easier to work with.
6. You can also make it up to 2 days in advance and lake it out of the fridge 45 minutes before you want to use it to soften.
7. Frost cake accordingly.
GANACHE
8 oz/225g bittersweet chocolate ( 72 %)
1 cup heavy cream
To make the ganache: Heat the cream in a heavy bottom saucepan. When it reaches a simmer, take it off the heat and pour it over the chopped chocolate. Let it sit there for 3-4 minutes on the chocolate and then whisk until the chocolate has melted.
Drizzle the ganache over the chocolate cake. It it drip over the sides. This is an easy way to decorate a cake.
oh my....my mouth is watering haha
my mouth is watering too
Faviola Cruz me too

Wow this cake looks incredible, awesome job!
SweetTreats Thanks, I'm really glad you liked it :)
Gemma your creations are just so irresistible.
I wish I could have some, it looks super yummy! Unfortunately, I just got my braces on today and can barely chew a piece of pasta. And they hurt. Thecake and frosting look so good together!
Kittarkin just wait until you get used :D Don't worry, it's just a matter of days!
YourNewPrincess I know, I just put some wax on a poky wire :p
There are few things more satisfying in life than the removal of your braces 😄 Hang in there, it'll be over before you know it and you'll have beautiful pearly whites to show off! ^~^
Maybe you could just eat the batter😏lol
@@YourNewPrincess yes truee
I've made the cookie dough frosting and I adapted the recipe this way: I halved the original recipe (found in the blog of Chef in Training) and only used 1/2 a cup of powdered sugar, cause I like my frosting to be not too sweet and rich. The use of raw flour in this recipe gives texture and that doughy flavour you are looking for. I hope this can be useful for other readers and bold bakers who want to give this recipe a try! I'm using the frosting to top some vanilla cupcakes. Good luck!
+Mery Allande Thanks for the tips! :)
+Gemma Stafford You are welcome! I love trying out new recipes, specially yours! :)
I'm making a version of this for my Mum's birthday party on Friday! Instead of the cookie dough frosting I'm going to use white chocolate ganache and dulce de leche swirled together, and then pipe whipped white chocolate ganache on the top! :) Thanks for a great recipe!
+Bexy Lejonquist Yum! I would love to see photos of your creation! :)
Oh my gosh Gemma! This could quite possibly be my favourite thing you've ever shown how to make! I'll be making this very soon, wow i'm not usually a cake-y person but this is something else!

By the way, it's " I feel really excited showing this", not " I am feel really excited showing this." It's an grammatical error. Sorry for that

Definitely one of the best brownie cake recipe and frosting I have ever came across. ❤️😍
pavithrauthaman Thanks so much, I'm so glad you liked it :)
I've made brownies before and although I have had a few fail attempts in the appearance isle, I am sure I am going to try this one 😊. And I agree, the frosting/icing is the best bit 😋.
P.S: I love ❤ you Gemma and I can't wait for your new series, probably because all of your videos are awesome.
+Gemma Stafford can you try and teach us how to make a brightly coloured marble cake 🎂, which is in the shape of a building or famous sight? Please and Thank You 😊 😉
OMG, this looks absolutely delicious, could anything be better than this??!!
Hi! I believe there is some error in the ingredients list. I made this cake, but there was too much batter for a 9" (20 cm pan). I had to waste some. Looking back at the ingredients list, I noticed that the amount of flours was 465 g OR 1 and 3/4 cups. Since I always prefer to measure by weight, I put the indicated weight. However, this amount of flour should equal to almost 4 cups, and not less than 2 cups, as listed. So I wonder what is the correct amount of flour, 1 and 3/4 cups (some 210 g) or the almost 1/2 kg listed?
Beautiful cake anyway. Really love this channel.
I mean, 427 g
My brownie became dry and very hard. I am sure there was too much flour...
:-(
I have to agree with you. Measurements are way off and the amount of sugar in this recipe, esp the frosting (6 cups of powdered sugar??) is just way off. Unless you wanna have diabetes that is.
+Michael Mike The frosting was actually quite tasty.
+Roberto Aguiar no doubt it was, but way too sweet for our liking
I might do this for mother's day. Thanks.
Devine! Cookie dough icing😋💖👌🏼
Just when I thought your recipes couldn't get any better you have out shined yourself once again! You inspire me so much to keep up my love of baking💜
Niamh Mcintyre Aw, thank you so much! :)
Can I make the frosting without the cream cheese? Love this recipe!:)
You can do this as you like it :)

Aislinn McCourt Thank you so much, really glad you like my channel :)
People are freaking out about the raw flour... cookie dough has raw flour. *facepalm*
***** LOL
Actually most places that sell cookie dough actually pre bake all their flour so it is safe to eat. Only uneducated people don’t and don’t even explain that it is a risk. Anyone watching this video who didn’t know it was a risk wouldn’t know any different because Gemma couldn’t even be bothered to educate them. She definitely could have just quickly mentioned it being risky to eat raw but no. She didn’t. 😒😤😑 she really shouldn’t be doing these videos if she doesn’t care
OMG...this looks like a step into heaven. Got to try this recipe for I love brownies and cookie dough combo..another knock out of the park Gemma as always.
WOW !!! WAT AN EPIC VIDEO !! COOKIES AND BROWNIES + HEAVEN !! GEMMA YOUR THE BEST I CAN FINALLY ENJOY LIFE ( LOL ) !
Sanu Miah Thank you so much, really glad you liked it :)
gemma plz make strawberry trifle one day or pizza I love all your videos but if you made those too I would just FALL IN LOVE
Sanu Miah I'll add them to my list. Pizza is coming in June :)
Yay !! I hope my messages are in the video fingers crossed
Looks great! Thanks for cutting into the cake. Great to see!
+Chrissy Dunn Thanks so much for watching, really glad you liked this recipe :)
+Gemma Stafford I'm going to give it a try for my daughters 11th birthday this weekend! I'll let you know:)
Hello Gemma.
How could I change this recipe to make cakey brownies?
+Bethzaida Vasquez I haven't tried that. Check out my website (www.biggerbolderbaking.com) for my best ever chocolate cake recipe. You're gonna love it :)
Oh my goodness Gemma what have you created this is amazing 😱😱
+Elizabeth Farwell Thank you so much, really glad you liked this video :)
if only life tasted as good as her recipes 😂😂😂😂

It has it's moments! ups and downs, balance, I hope! :)
A cookie dough frosting? Thats so smart !! Defiantly gonna try this😻.
The cake was so dense and heavy and was too sweet I've tried most of Gemmas recipes and they were amazing and I always come to her first but it just did not work this time I just make comments for improvement so no one else is hurtful to you so please don't take it personal because you are amazing 💗❤️😍
+aya Ismail Thanks so much for watching and commenting, Aya. This recipe is very decadent and rich. Check out my website (www.biggerbolderbaking.com) for all of my cakes :)
Gemma, you're my hero!
AWESOME YUMMY COOL BRILLIANT YAY
Ximena Nieves lol, delighted you liked it :)
gemma is the best everytime i follow her cake recipes turn out really well
Yea! I am happy to hear this :)
Everytime I see one of your videos, I think, "She can't top that." Then you do! (:
I love baking and music
i always wonder if the youtubers that bake regularly eat the cake themselves or share it with friends?
+Sneha Ravichandran Both :)
What is all purpose flour? does it have baking powder already in it?
+Sarah Khan All purpose flour is just plain flour, self rising flour is the one that contains baking powder
Gemma: Another masterpiece.....you have such an incredible personality, so original and sincere, and watching your videos is so relaxing....and your food creations....I don't have words for them.....just OMG!!!

Adam Hamdy Ha! You can save it for after Ramadan. I hope you enjoy!
