Funfetti Cookie Cake

Ingredients

Funfetti Cookie Cake

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temp
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg + 1 large egg yolk, room temp
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 1/2 tsp cornstarch
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles

Whipped Vanilla Frosting

  • 13 tbsp unsalted butter, room temp
  • 1 1/2 cups confectioner's sugar
  • Small pinch of salt
  • 1 tbsp heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp clear vanilla extract (or regular)

Instructions

Funfetti Cookie Cake

  • Preheat the oven to 350F and spray a 9" baking pan or pie dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Using an electric mixer on medium speed, cream the butter until it's smooth (about 1 minute).  
  • Add in the sugar and continue to mix for another minute, until the mixture is light and fluffy.  
  • Add in the eggs and vanilla extract and continue to mix until well combined.  Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda and cornstarch.
  • Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.  
  • Add in the white chocolate chips and sprinkles and either briefly use the electric mixer, or mix by hand.  
  • Spread the cookie dough evenly in the prepared baking pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until very lightly browned.  Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10-15 mins and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.  Decorate the cake with the whipped vanilla frosting once it has completely cooled.

Whipped Vanilla Frosting

  • Place the butter in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment.
  • Whip on medium-high speed until smooth, about 1 minute.
  • Add the confectioners’ sugar to the bowl and mix on medium-low speed just until incorporated.
  • Add in the salt and continue to beat on medium-high speed until smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
  • Mix in the heavy cream and vanilla on low speed just until incorporated.
  • Increase the mixer speed and whip on high speed until light and fluffy, scraping down the bowl as needed, about 4-5 minutes.
  • *You can either decorate your cake with white frosting, or if you want to dye it like I did, divide the frosting into 4 bowls.  Dye one bowl pink, one blue and one yellow - leave the last one white.  Place each color into its own piping bag.  Then add your desired extra large frosting tip to a totally different bag.  Cut the tips of the frosting bags and place them all into the bag with the tip.  Now you will have perfectly color swirled frosting!
