Love Chocolate Chip Cookies? Then you will love this easy Chocolate Chip Cake topped with a creamy Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Frosting.

I have an obsession with chocolate chips. From the classic cookie to other sweet treats with chocolate chips, I’m completely hooked.

I have a Pinterest board full of drool worthy chocolate chip desserts that make me weak in the knees. Just looking at all the goodies pinned makes me want to pour a tall glass of cold milk.

In the midst of all my fall apple and pumpkin desserts I have been baking I wanted to change things up, and what better than a Chocolate Chip Cake topped with a creamy Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Frosting you will want to just lick with a spoon.

I love simple desserts that don’t require a lot of fuss. This Chocolate Chip Cake is one of those desserts. I like to bake cakes, including this in an 8 inch cake pan. An 8 inch cake is the perfect size cake for a weeknight dessert. If I make a bigger cake, that only leaves room for temptation with leftovers. Then I find myself at midnight sitting in the kitchen in the dark, fork in hand digging into the cake. We’ve all been there, right? This is an easy, peasy, I’m in the mood for chocolate chip but don’t want to make cookies kind of cake.

The cake taste just like one big chocolate chip cookie, but in cake form. And the frosting. Oh my, the frosting. Let me just say, you may want to double it because you will find yourself eating half of it before you even frost the cake.

Go ahead, pour yourself a glass of milk and curl up with a piece of this moist and delicious cake. I promise, you will love it!
