Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease three 8-inch round cake pans.
Make the cookie dough filling by creaming butter and sugars, then mixing in milk, vanilla, flour, salt, and chocolate chips.
Prepare the cake batter by creaming butter and sugars until fluffy, adding eggs one at a time, followed by alternating dry ingredients and milk.
Divide the batter among the pans, dollop cookie dough filling on top, then bake for 25-30 minutes.
