So I have this recipe for soft chocolate cookies that is just awesome. My boyfriend's birthday was last month, and his favorite cake is chocolate with buttercream frosting. I remembered from somewhere (side panel of a cake mix box I think) that you could easily convert a cake mix to make cookies. So..... should work the other way around, too, right? Seems it does, and I got the proportions right.
Soft Chocolate Cookie Cake
3 cups flour (I'm in the U.S., all measurements will be in the weird system we still cling to)
3 large eggs
1 cup of butter (2 sticks, or 1/2 pound)
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
2/3 cup + 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups milk
1/4 cup olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons vanilla
In one bowl, combine flour, cocoa powder, baking soda and salt. Mix thoroughly.
In another bowl, cream together the butter and sugar. Mix in eggs, vanilla, and olive oil. Add flour mix alternating with milk, mixing well after each addition.
Bake at 350 degrees F. For cupcakes 20-30 minutes. For 9"x 13" pan, 45-60 minutes. Toothpick test for doneness. Cool in pan for 5 minutes, cool completely on wire racks. Frost as desired.
