Ingredients

For The Brownie Layer

• ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• ¼ cup cocoa powder
• ¼ teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup chocolate chips (optional, for extra fudgy goodness)

For The Cookie Layer

• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened

• ½ cup packed brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup cake flour
• 1 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup chocolate chips or chunks (semi-sweet or milk chocolate, based on preference)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven & prepare the pan

• Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round or square baking pan and line it with parchment paper. This makes it easier to remove the cake once it’s baked.

2. Prepare the brownie layer

• Melt the unsalted butter in a microwave-safe bowl.
• Stir in the granulated sugar until the mixture is smooth.
• Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract.
• Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt into the wet mixture. Stir until the batter is well combined.
• For an extra fudgy texture, fold in the chocolate chips if you’re using them.
• Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly.

3. Prepare the cookie layer

• In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy.
• Add the egg and vanilla extract, then beat until fully combined.
• Sift together the cake flour, cornstarch, all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
• Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until everything is incorporated.
• Stir in the chocolate chips or chunks, depending on your preference.
• Spoon the cookie dough over the brownie layer and spread it out evenly with a spatula.

4. Bake

• Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Check the cake by inserting a toothpick into the center.
• It should come out mostly clean with just a few moist crumbs.
• Let it cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
