You are torn between a brownie and a cookie, here's the recipe for you! A small slice of this cake and both cravings will be satisfied 😉 Of course, it’s not the lightest or freshest cake, but it’s very indulgent! You can add nuts if you wish, or even store it in the refrigerator for a fresher version when tasting.

Add the egg then the flour.

Finish with the chocolate chips.

Spread the cookie dough over the brownie batter (there is quite a lot of cookie dough, I didn’t use all of it and baked the rest separately to avoid too much thickness).

Baking:

Bake in a preheated oven at 220°C for 20 minutes, then lower the temperature to 180°C and continue baking for another 10 to 15 minutes depending on how gooey you want your cake. Let cool, then remove from pan and enjoy!
