Number Of Ingredients 25

Ingredients

1 1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 cups sugar
3 tsp vanilla extract
6 eggs
1 1/2 cup flour
1 cup cocoa (I use Hershey's Special Dark)
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
two 15.25 oz boxes funfetti dry cake mix
1 1/3 cups flour
3-4 tbsp milk
4-5 tsp sprinkles
3/4 cup white chocolate chips
3/4 cup chocolate chips
12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided
1 cup heavy whipping cream, divided
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup shortening
2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup cocoa
1 tbsp water or milk
sprinkles, for topping, if desired

Steps:

Line the bottoms of 3 8 inch cake pans with parchment paper & grease the sides. Preheat oven to 350. Mix together the oil, sugar & vanilla. Add eggs, mix until well combined. Combine flour, cocoa, baking powder & salt. Slowly add dry ingredients to the egg mixture until well combined. Pour the batter evenly into the 3 pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with a few crumbs. Allow to cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then remove to cool on wire rack. To make the cookie dough: Cream butter and sugars together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Mix in vanilla. With the mixer on low speed, add 1 entire box of dry cake mix, plus 1 1/2 cups from a second box of cake mix and mix until combined. Add 1 cup flour and mix until combined. Add milk and up to an additional 1/3 cup of flour to preferred thickness. Stir in sprinkles and chocolate chips. Dough will be thick. Set aside. Once the brownies are cool, put the layers together. Place half of chocolate chips in a metal bowl. Microwave half of the heavy cream until it starts to boil. Remove from microwave and pour over chocolate chips. Cover bowl with saran wrap for 5-7 minutes. Whisk chocolate and cream until smooth. Using one of the same 8 inch cake pans that you baked the brownies in, put parchment paper or saran wrap in the bottom and up the sides of the pan. You will use it to lift the layers out of the pan. Place the first brownie into the bottom of the pan. Add about 3 tbsp of ganache on top of the brownie and spread into a thin layer. This will help the cookie dough stick to the brownie. Put half of the cookie dough into the pan and spread evenly on top of the brownie. Remove the first 2 layers from the cake pan and place on it's serving dish. Repeat steps 5-8 with the second brownie and remaining cookie dough. Then remove from pan. Put another 3 tbsp of ganache on top of the cookie dough layer from the first section of cake and spread thinly.
