Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour Essential for structure and texture.
  • 2 tablespoons natural cocoa powder Adds depth to the flavor profile.
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch Helps achieve that chewy texture.
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda Provides leavening to give a slight rise.

  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter Must be softened for easy mixing and rich taste.
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar Sweetens the cookie cake perfectly.
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar Adds moisture and a hint of caramel flavor.
  • 1 large egg Binds everything together effectively.
  • 1 large egg yolk Ensures extra richness in the dough.
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract Brings warmth and enhances sweetness.
  • 2 teaspoons red food coloring Gives that iconic red velvet color; gel works best!
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips For a creamy addition in every bite.
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter Used in frosting for creaminess and flavor.
  • 2 oz brick-style cream cheese Provides richness and tang in the frosting.
  • 1-2 cups powdered sugar Sweetens the frosting to perfection; adjust as needed.

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy using an electric mixer on medium speed.
  4. Mix in the egg, egg yolk, vanilla extract, and red food coloring until fully incorporated into the butter-sugar mixture.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients while mixing on low speed until just combined; fold in the white chocolate chips gently.
  6. Pour the batter into your prepared pan evenly and bake for approximately 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
