Serious chocolate chip cookie dough lovers, this one is for you!
Say it with me, "Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Devil's Food Cake Cheesecake." That's a mouthful- literally! I've taken my favorite devil's food cake, layered it with cheesecake and topped it with a generous portion of chocolate chip cookie dough.
Now admittedly, this cake is a production. But each portion of the recipe is strait-forward and the end result is well worth the effort. In comparison, it is easier to make than the infamous PBC4, and most reviewers who attempted that behemoth reported back with favorable results.
Like its cheesecake-cake predecessor, I suggest making this cake over the course of two days. I made the cheesecake layer and cookie dough layer on the first day, then baked the devil's food cake, made the frosting and assembled the cake on the second.
This is such a fun, over-the-top cake. I suggest making it when you need something delicious to feed 20 of your closest friends!
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Devil's Food Cake Cheesecake
Yield: One 9-inch cake, approximately 15-18 servings [click for printable version]
Cake portion:
The cake portion of this recipe is adapted from Rose Levy Beranbaum's Devil's Food Cake. I have reduced the batter quantity to make one 9-inch layer instead of two 9-inch layers.
1 oz. fine quality bittersweet chocolate, chopped evenly
1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp unsweetened dark cocoa powder
1/2 cup hot coffee (can use hot water or decaf coffee if caffeine sensitive)
1 egg
1 egg yolk
2 tbsp sour cream
1 tsp vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
1 cup plus 2 tbsp all purpose flour
3/4 cup light brown sugar, tightly packed
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
8 tbsp (1 US stick) unsalted butter, softened
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9-inch cake pan with vegetable shortening and line with a circle of parchment paper. Grease paper and set pan aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the chocolate, cocoa and hot coffee (or water) until smooth. Set aside.
- In another bowl, whisk the eggs, yolks, sour cream, half the chocolate mixture and vanilla until just combined.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix the flour, brown sugar, baking soda and salt on low for 30 seconds. Add the softened butter and the remaining chocolate mixture. Mix on low speed until the dry ingredients are moistened. Raise the speed to medium and beat for 30 seconds. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
- With the mixer off between additions, add the egg mixture in two parts, starting on medium-low speed and gradually increasing to medium. Beat on medium speed for 45 seconds after each addition to incorporate the ingredients and strengthen the structure. The batter will be slightly fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Using a silicone spatula, scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the surface evenly with a small offset spatula.
- Bake for 30-40 minutes (check at 30). Cake is does when a toothpick tester comes out clean and the cake springs back when pressed in the middle. Let the baked cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then turn cake out onto a wire rack. Let cool completely.
Cheesecake portion:
This crustless cheesecake uses half of a 3 oz. packet of cook-and-serve vanilla pudding mix. Be sure to add it to your shopping list!
8 tbsp (1 US stick) unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
2 8oz. packages cream cheese, softened
2 eggs
1.5 oz. (or 1/4 cup plus 2 tsp) cook and serve vanilla pudding mix
2 tbsp sorghum molasses (not black strap)
2 teaspoons vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
1 tsp baking powder
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease one 9-inch springform pan with shortening, line the pan with parchment and then grease the
parchment. Lightly flour the pan and tap out excess over the sink.
Set aside. - Cream butter and
sugar in a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment. Add cream cheese a
little at a time until smooth. Scrape bowl down and beat again on medium
speed, adding eggs one at a time. Add vanilla pudding mix, molasses, vanilla and baking powder; mix again until well combined. - Pour batter into prepared pan. Smooth batter with offset spatula and bake for 55 minutes to
1 hour.Cheesecake will puff up during baking, then deflate when taken
out. Allow cheesecake to cool in pan. Place in freezer until needed for assembly.
Chocolate chip cookie dough:
This recipe is adapted from "The Cupcake Project" blog. It is eggless, so it can safely be eaten in its raw form, but I do recommend refrigeration to maintain freshness.
A word about quantities: I love a lot of cookie dough. My husband would have liked a smaller portion of cookie dough in relation to the other layers of the cake. The table below will allow you to make the amount that is right for you.
I love a little cookie dough. | I love a LOT of cookie dough (shown). |
1 cup all-purpose flour | 3 cups all-purpose flour |
1/4 tsp. salt | 3/4 teaspoon salt |
1/3 cup +2 tbsp. light brown sugar, packed | 1 ¼ cups light brown sugar, packed |
1/4 cup granulated sugar | 3/4 cup granulated sugar |
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted | 1 cup unsalted butter, melted |
1 tsp. vanilla extract | 1 1/4 tsp. vanilla extract |
1/3 cup chocolate chips | 1 cup chocolate chips |
2 tbsp. whole milk | 6 tbsp. whole milk |
- Line a 9-inch spring-form pan with parchment paper.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, stir together flour, salt, brown sugar and granulated sugar. Pour in butter and vanilla extract. Mix until a dry dough forms. Add chocolate chips and mix on lowest speed (this is "Stir" on KitchenAid machines).
- When chocolate chips are evenly dispersed, add whole milk 1 tablespoon at a time with the machine on low speed. Remove dough from mixer bowl and press into the prepared springform pan. Place in freezer until ready for cake assembly.
Light chocolate-molasses buttercream:
Chocolate and molasses are used sparingly in this recipe to create a light tasting frosting that doesn't distract from the other elements of the cake.
1 1/2 cups (24 tablespoons or 3 US sticks) unsalted butter, softened
4 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
2 tbsp molasses
1 tbsp cocoa powder (I used regular strength, not dark)
1/4 tsp salt
- Combine butter and powdered sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer. Beat on low until just combined, then beat on high until mixture is thoroughly incorporated. Stop mixer and add vanilla, molasses, cocoa powder and salt. Beat on high speed until light and fluffy.
- Scrape down bowl and beat again until no streaks of molasses remain.
Chocolate chips – a handful
Optional * 1/2 cup finely ground chocolate cookies (such as famous wafers) or chocolate sprinkles
- Choose a serving plate on which to build and display the cake. Line the edges of the plate with strips of wax paper to keep the plate edge clean while frosting.
- Level the devil's food cake layer with a serrated knife. Place it in the center of the wax paper lined plate. Spread a small amount of frosting over the top of the cake – just enough to hold the next layer in place [pic 1].
- Remove the cheesecake from the freezer and level with a serrated knife, if needed. (The cheesecake puffs up while baking, then sinks a bit as it cools. I usually have a small line of cheesecake around the outer edge that is taller than the rest of the cheesecake, which I remove.) Carefully place the cheesecake on top of the frosted devil's food cake, supporting it with a spatula on one side and your hand on the other [pic 2].
- Remove cookie dough layer from freezer and remove it from springform pan. Turn layer over and remove parchment round. Place cookie dough layer on top of the cheesecake. No icing is used between the cheesecake and cookie dough layer [pic 3].
- Frost the sides of the cake with an off-set spatula; do not frost the top [pic4]. Transfer remaining frosting to piping bag fitted with a large star tip (Wilton #133). Pipe 2″ swirls around the edge of the top of the cake. Press a chocolate chip turned upside down into the middle of each swirl.
- Optional * Gently press handfuls of ground cookies into the icing on the bottom half of the cake. This is a messy business no matter how you do it, but having someone hold the cake over your kitchen sink while you manage the task of pressing/ tossing crumbs on the cake will help.
- Refrigerate cake until ready to serve. Wrap uneaten portion of cheesecake in plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator.

Federal agents, art experts and museum curators descended on the home of a 91-year-old man in central Indiana on Wednesday to take control of a huge collection of artifacts from Native American, Russian, Chinese and other cultures.
FBI Special Agent Robert Jones told reporters that the collection's cultural value "is immeasurable," reports RTV6 The Indy Channel.
While officials wouldn't offer details about what they found, the Indianapolis Star reports that thousands of artifacts were seized. The Star adds that "an FBI command vehicle and several tents were spotted at the property in rural Waldron, about 35 miles southeast of Indianapolis."
The man who apparently has been collecting artifacts for about eight decades is Don Miller. He has not been arrested or charged, according to news reports. The Star writes that:
"The items were found in a main residence, in which Miller lives; a second, unoccupied residence on the property; and in several outbuildings, Jones said. The town originally was Iroquois land. The objects were not stored to museum standards, Jones said, but it was apparent Miller had made an effort to maintain them well.
"The aim of the investigation is to determine what each artifact is, where it came from and how Miller obtained it, Jones said, to determine whether some of the items might be illegal to possess privately."
Larry Zimmerman, a professor of anthropology and museum studies at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, tells the Star he has "never seen a collection like this in my life except in some of the largest museums."
The local newspaper, the Rushville Republican, wrote a series of stories about Miller in 2007 in which he talked about his work in 1944 and 1945 with the group that tested detonators during development of the atomic bomb.

Artist's conceptualization of the environment around the supermassive black hole at the center of Mrk 231. The broad outflow seen in the Gemini data is shown as the fan-shaped wedge at the top of the accretion disk around the black hole. This side-view is not what is seen from the Earth where we see it 'looking down the throat' of the outflow. A similar outflow is probably present under the disk as well and is hinted at in this illustration. The total amount of material entrained in the broad flow is at least 400 times the mass of the Sun per year. Note that a more localized, narrower jet is shown, this jet was known prior to the Gemini discovery of the broader outflow featured here.

When two galaxies merge to form a giant, the central supermassive black hole in the new galaxy develops an insatiable appetite. However, this ferocious appetite is unsustainable.
Background Information:
The growth of supermassive black holes, which are found in the centers of all normal galaxies (including our Milky Way), is fundamentally linked to the stars in galaxies. Black holes grow and stars form over time, resulting in a tight connection between the mass of the central black hole and the mass in stars of the host galaxy. Since most galaxies in the local universe do not currently have actively growing black holes at their centers, some process must eventually emerge to shut down this growth and development. Theoretical modeling specifically points to quasar outflows as the culprit. In this negative feedback loop, while the black hole is actively acquiring mass as a quasar, the outflows carry away energy and material, suppressing further growth. Small-scale outflows had been observed before, but none sufficiently powerful to account for this predicted and fundamental aspect of galaxy evolution. The Gemini observations provide the first clear evidence for outflows powerful enough to support the process necessary to starve the galactic black hole and quench star formation.
This extraction from the data cube shows the large-scale, fast outflow of neutral sodium at the center of the quasar Markarian 231. We are looking down onto the material that moves toward us relative to the galaxy, so the measured velocities are negative. The large black circle marks the location of the black hole, and red lines show the location of a radio jet. In addition to the quasar outflow, the jet pushes the material at the top right, resulting in even greater speeds. Part of the starburst is located at the position of the box at the lower left, and it is likely responsible for the gas motion in this region.
For the first time, observations with the Gemini Observatory clearly reveal an extreme, large-scale galactic outflow that brings the cosmic dinner to a halt. The outflow is effectively blowing the galaxy apart in a negative feedback loop, depriving the galaxy's monstrous black hole of the gas and dust it needs to sustain its frenetic growth. It also limits the material available for the galaxy to make new generations of stars.
The groundbreaking work is a collaboration between David Rupke of Rhodes College in Tennessee and the University of Maryland's Sylvain Veilleux. The results are to be published in the March 10 issue of The Astrophysical Journal Letters and were completed with support from the U.S. National Science Foundation.
According to Veilleux, Markarian 231 (Mrk 231), the galaxy observed with Gemini, is an ideal laboratory for studying outflows caused by feedback from supermassive black holes. "This object is arguably the closest and best example that we know of a big galaxy in the final stages of a violent merger and in the process of shedding its cocoon and revealing a very energetic central quasar. This is really a last gasp of this galaxy; the black hole is belching its next meals into oblivion!" As extreme as Mrk 231's eating habits appear, Veilleux adds that they are probably not unique, "When we look deep into space and back in time, quasars like this one are seen in large numbers and all of them may have gone through shedding events like the one we are witnessing in Mrk 231."
Although Mrk 231 is extremely well studied, and known for its collimated jets, the Gemini observations exposed a broad outflow extending in all directions for at least 8,000 light years around the galaxy's core. The resulting data reveal gas (characterized by sodium, which absorbs yellow light) streaming away from the galaxy center at speeds of over 1,000 kilometers per second. At this speed, the gas could go from New York to Los Angeles in about 4 seconds. This outflow is removing gas from the nucleus at a prodigious rate – more than 2.5 times the star formation rate. The speeds observed eliminate stars as the possible "engine" fueling the outflow. This leaves the black hole itself as the most likely culprit, and it can easily account for the tremendous energy required.
The energy involved is sufficient to sweep away matter from the galaxy. However, "when we say the galaxy is being blown apart, we are only referring to the gas and dust in the galaxy," notes Rupke. "The galaxy is mostly stars at this stage in its life, and the outflow has no effect on them. The crucial thing is that the fireworks of new star formation and black hole feeding are coming to an end, most likely as a result of this outflow."
The environment around such a black hole is commonly known as an active galactic nucleus (AGN), and the extreme influx of material into these black holes is the power source for quasi-stellar objects or quasars. Merging galaxies help to feed the central black hole and also shroud it in gas. Mrk 231 is in transition, now clearing its surroundings. Eventually, running out of fuel, the AGN will become extinct. Without gas to form new stars, the host galaxy also starves to death, turning into a collection of old aging stars with few young stars to regenerate the stellar population. Ultimately, these old stars will make the galaxy appear redder giving these galaxies the moniker "red and dead."
Numerical astrophysicist Philip Hopkins, a Miller Fellow at the University of California at Berkeley, explains that many physical processes unique to rapidly growing black holes are likely to play a role in propelling the winds observed by Gemini. "At its peak, the quasar shines with such intensity that the light itself is 'trapped' by a cocoon of gas and dust pushing on material with a force that can easily overcome the gravitational pull of the black hole." Hopkins adds that the bath of X-rays and gamma rays known to be generated by quasars could also heat up the gas in the galaxy's center until it reaches a temperature where it "boils over" and causes a bomb-like explosion. "But until now, we haven't been able to catch a system 'in the act.'" Part of the problem, according to Hopkins, has been that the most visible outflows are those 'collimated jets' already known in Mrk 231. These jets are trapped (probably by magnetic fields) in an extremely narrow beam, whereas material is falling into the black hole from all directions. The previously known jets therefore only cause very localized damage – drilling a tiny hole in the cocoon, rather than sweeping it away more broadly as seen in these new, more all-encompassing, outflows.
The observations for this study were obtained with the Gemini Multi-Object Spectrograph (GMOS) on Gemini North, on Mauna Kea, Hawai'i. The study used a powerful technique known as integral field spectroscopy. The integral field unit (IFU) in GMOS obtains a spectrum at several hundred points around the galaxy's core. Each spectrum is then, in turn, used to determine the velocity of the gas at that point and represents the third dimension in what is called a data cube.
Markarian 231 is located about 600 million light years away in the direction of the constellation of Ursa Major. Although its mass is uncertain, some estimates indicate that Mrk 231 has a mass in stars about three times that of our Milky Way galaxy and its central black hole is estimated to have a mass of at least ten million solar masses or also about three times that of the supermassive black hole in the Milky Way.

Let's stay with Internet news for a moment. Yahoo is undergoing another big management shakeup. Yesterday, Jerry Yang, the co-founder and former CEO, said he is stepping down from the company's board of directors.
NPR's Steve Henn has more from Silicon Valley.
STEVE HENN, BYLINE: For months late last year, Yahoo's board of directors was mulling a deal that could have sold the Internet company or broken it apart.
CHARLENE LI: But the question always in the back of people's mind is would Jerry Yang, the founder of the company, be interested I going along with that.
HENN: Charlene Li follows the Yahoo at the Altimeter Group. Yang blocked Microsoft's bid to buy Yahoo back in 2008. That decision ultimately cost Yahoo's share holders billions. And in recent years, Yahoo has struggled to hold its grounds in the increasingly competitive Internet advertising market.
DAVID HALLERMAN: 2011, it didn't grow. It was down about 3 percent in the United States, which is the bulk of their market.
HENN: David Hallerman tracks Yahoo's ad sales at eMarketer. He says for many investors, Yahoo has lost its luster.
HALLERMAN: Because they're not going to be as strong as they were before.
HENN: But the board's decision earlier this month to hire former eBay executive Scott Thompson to run Yahoo signaled the company would remain intact. Still, Yahoo's under intense pressure from its largest shareholders to boost results.
Charlene Li says a shakeup on the board was overdue.
LI: Yahoo's board has been seen as being very much entrenched in the old way of thinking of what Yahoo was.
HENN: Yahoo still has 700 million users, but Li believes that what it needs is a clear vision for the future. With Yang now gone, more board resignations are expected.

If your general medical doctor feels that you might have a significant heart or related condition, he or she will often call on a cardiologist for help. A cardiologist is a doctor with special training and skill in finding, treating and preventing diseases of the heart and blood vessels.
Symptoms like shortness of breath, chest pains, or dizzy spells often require special testing. Sometimes heart murmurs or ECG changes need the evaluation of a cardiologist.
More: Learn about Cardiologists
Cardiologists help people with heart disease return to a full and useful life and also counsel patients about the risks and prevention of heart disease. Cardiologists are involved in the treatment of heart attacks, heart failure, and serious heart rhythm disturbances. Their skills and training are required whenever decisions are made about procedures such as cardiac catheterization, balloon angioplasty, or heart surgery.
What is a Physician Associate?
A Physician Associate (PA) is a health care professional who is authorized by the state to practice medicine as part of a team with a physician or group of physicians. PAs deliver a broad range of medical and surgical services, including: conduct physical exams, obtain medical histories, diagnose and treat illnesses, order and interpret tests, counsel on preventive health care, assist in procedures and prescribe medications.
You may see a PA in the hospital admitting patients, performing hospital rounds, supervising stress testing, or assisting the cardiologists in the cardiac catheterization lab and electrophysiology lab. They are trained and certified in Advanced Cardiac
Life Support and can respond to cardiac emergencies as they arise.
In the office setting PAs are trained to see both stable cardiac patients as well as the acutely ill. They perform pre-operative clearance exams for non-cardiac
surgery. They can perform consolation evaluations on new cardiac patients. Cardiology PAs work as a team in collaboration with the cardiologist(s).
What is a Nurse Practitioner?
Nurse practitioners (NPs) are registered nurses who are prepared, through advanced education and clinical training, to provide a wide range of preventive and acute health care services to individuals of all ages. NPs complete graduate-level education preparation that leads to a master's degree.
NPs take health histories and provide complete physical examinations; diagnose and treat many common acute and chronic problems (such as diabetes, high blood pressure, infections and injuries); interpret laboratory results and X-rays; prescribe and manage medications and other therapies; provide health teaching and supportive counseling with an emphasis on prevention of illness and health maintenance; and refer patients to other health professionals as needed.
What is a Registered Nurse?
Registered nurses (RNs) provide and coordinate patient care, educate patients and the public about various health conditions, and provide advice and emotional support to patients and their family members.
Registered nurses perform physical exams and health histories, counseling and education patients about their health. RNs may also administer medications, interpret patient information and make critical decisions about needed actions. Additionally, RNs coordinate care, in collaboration with a wide array of health care professionals and may direct and supervise care delivered by other health care personnel.
What is a Clinical Pharmacist?
Clinical pharmacists are the medication experts. You might not realize it, but they do much more than count tablets and pour liquids. They routinely provide medication recommendations to patients and health care professionals. Clinical pharmacist researchers generate, disseminate, and apply new knowledge that contributes to improved health and quality of life.
Clinical pharmacists are a primary source of advice regarding the safe, appropriate, and cost-effective use of medications. They often collaborate with physicians and other health care professionals. In some states, clinical pharmacists are given prescriptive authority under protocol with a medical provider (i.e., MD or DO), and their scope of practice is constantly evolving.

Cases May Mean More Than Legal Woes For Bieber
Legal experts said the decision by Toronto authorities to charge Bieber with assault on Wednesday makes the singer's legal situation more complicated and difficult to untangle. He is already facing a driving under the influence case in Florida, and remains under investigation for felony vandalism in Los Angeles County.
Bieber's cases are in the early stages and there are no guarantees that the Grammy-nominated singer will be convicted of any charges. But if he is, it will impact how judges view and sentence him, said Stanley L. Friedman, a former federal prosecutor who now practices criminal defense in Los Angeles.
"I think the legal system is much more likely to treat him harshly as somebody who needs to be taught a lesson," ''Now he's become a national poster child for being a bad boy."
Andrew Flier, a criminal defense attorney who's represented sports stars and actors, said immigration issues are likely Bieber's biggest problem at this point. If the singer is convicted in one or both cases, he could receive additional scrutiny when traveling from his homeland, Canada to the United States, where Bieber currently lives.
"Multiple convictions even on misdemeanors could be troublesome to the non-citizen," Flier said.
Bieber, 19, has pleaded not guilty to DUI, resisting arrest without violence and driving without a valid license in the Miami case. A preliminary toxicology report released Thursday showed that Bieber tested positive for marijuana and the anti-anxiety drug Xanax. The report shows no presence of other illicit drugs in Bieber's system, such as cocaine or oxycodone. Bieber told police after the arrest that he had been smoking marijuana and took a prescription drug.
The singer also remains under investigation for an egg-tossing incident that left his neighbor's house with thousands of dollars in damage. If Bieber is charged in that case, a California judge may look at the singer more harshly in light of the Florida and Toronto cases, said Stan Goldman, a criminal law professor at Loyola Law School, Los Angeles.
"The fact that you've got three is a heck of a lot worse than one," Goldman said.
Friedman agreed, and said Bieber's other cases may make it more likely that the singer will be charged in Los Angeles. Prosecutors have a lot of discretion in how they pursue cases, and a judge has limited influence in the early stages about what deal Bieber would be offered or whether the case goes forward.
If Bieber is convicted in any of the cases – which could occur after a trial or potentially a plea deal – he'll lose the benefit of the doubt that judges often give to first-time offenders, Goldman said.
"These cases could take a while to work out and something's going to happen first," he said.
A judge might opt to keep Bieber on a long probation sentence to make sure he stays out of trouble, Goldman said, citing the case of Lindsay Lohan. The actress has been on some form of probation constantly since she took a plea agreement after being arrested twice for driving under the influence and drug possession in 2007.
Numerous stars have had their international travel curtailed because of their legal trouble, and attorneys cited the United States and Canada as both viewing any drug offenses harshly when deciding immigration issues. Japan has blocked the entry of The Rolling Stones over drug convictions and in 1980 deported Paul McCartney for marijuana possession at Narita International Airport. In 2010, Japan blocked Paris Hilton from entering the country just days after she pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor drug charge in Las Vegas.
R&B star Chris Brown must still have his international travel approved by a judge overseeing his probation for his 2009 attack on then-girlfriend Rihanna, and a Los Angeles judge has restricted Lohan's travel during the height of her probation.
David S. Kestenbaum, an attorney who represents a paparazzo charged with driving recklessly to obtain shots of Bieber, said the pop star's troubles will likely have an impact on his client's case.
Bieber "has been showing in the last year his character doesn't have a lot of credibility," Kestenbaum said.
Kestenbaum agreed with other experts who say Bieber's chances of being deported from the United States remain low, but he said that doesn't mean he'll quickly clear customs if he's convicted in any of the cases. Agents may scrutinize Bieber and his entourage more, looking for narcotics or other contraband and some countries may require him to obtain a special visa to enter, Kestenbaum said.
