  5. Pour the batter into the prepared pans and bake for 30-35 minutes. Let cool completely.
  6. In a medium bowl, beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy. Add vanilla.
  7. Gradually mix in flour until combined, then stir in chocolate chips.
  8. In a mixing bowl, beat the butter until creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and mix until well combined.
  9. Add heavy cream and vanilla, and beat until smooth.
  10. Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread half of the cookie dough filling on top.

  12. Drizzle with chocolate syrup and top with additional chocolate chips or cookie dough pieces, if desired.
  13. Slice, serve, and enjoy!

For a more intense chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate cocoa powder. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
