Once the cake layers are baked at 325F until a toothpick comes out clean, allow them to cool completely before moving on to the next step of layering and assembling your delightful Chocolate Chip Milk Cake.
Layering and Baking
After baking the cake layers at 350°F and allowing them to cool, proceed with layering and assembling the Milk and Cookies Cake.
When layering the chocolate chip cake batter, make sure to divide it evenly between the prepared pans to achieve uniform layers. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture and chocolate chips over each layer of batter to add a significant twist to the cake. Place the pans in the preheated oven and bake the cake layers for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once baked, remove the cake layers from the oven and allow them to cool completely before assembling the Milk and Cookies Cake. The cooling process is important for ensuring that the layers set properly and are easy to work with during assembly.
After the layers have cooled, you can begin to assemble the cake by stacking the layers with your desired filling between them.
