Decadent Mocha Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake with Apple Filling

Ingredients

- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon mocha flavoring
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 can (21 oz) apple pie filling
- 1 cup frosting of your choice
- Optional: decorative candles

Instructions

1. Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with butter or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

2. Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder. Set aside.

3. Cream the Butter and Sugars
In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2 to 3 minutes on a medium speed.

4. Incorporate Wet Ingredients
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract and mocha flavoring until fully combined.

5. Combine Dry and Wet Mixtures
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

6. Add Chocolate Chips
Gently fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula so they're evenly distributed throughout the dough.

7. Layer with Apple Pie Filling
Spread half of the cookie dough evenly into the prepared cake pan. Layer the apple pie filling over the dough, and then cover with the remaining cookie mixture, spreading it gently to cover the filling.

8. Bake
Place in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

9. Cool and Decorate
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, frost the top with your chosen frosting.

10. Serve and Celebrate
Add decorative candles for an extra festive touch, and serve your delicious mocha chocolate chip cookie cake!
