Ingredients
- 2 cups Waddle Dee cookie dough
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper.
- Prepare the dough base: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Incorporate dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients.
- Layer the cake: Spread a thin layer of the prepared batter into the bottom of the springform pan. Smooth it out evenly. Bake for 5-7 minutes or until golden brown.
- Add cookie dough: Spread a thin layer of Waddle Dee cookie dough over the baked layer.
- Repeat layering: Continue to alternate layers of batter and cookie dough, baking each batter layer for 5-7 minutes until all the batter and dough are used up.
- Final bake: Once all the layers are complete, bake the entire cake for an additional 10-15 minutes to ensure it is cooked through.
- Cool and serve: Allow the Baumkuchen to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing the springform. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
