A Black and White Cookie Cake as iconic as the cookie of the same name!
Since one good turn deserves another why not make make both black and white cookies and a cake too!
My famous bakery treats are happening right here and now you can make them at home!
The idea for this Black and White Cookie Cake was born out of my attempt at trying to like Black and White Cookies!
Yes it’s true I admit I was never a fan of the Black and White Cookie!
But I’ve been reformed!
Ever since I veganized my bakery original recipe for black and white cookies; it’s my latest obsession!
Moist cake-like cookie iced with the signature black and white icing!
This cake takes a page right out of that book with fluffy, moist white and chocolate layers
With a thin layer of ganache and buttercream between each and miniature black and white cookies for each slice
This new cake is already famous!

Notes for Success:
This is a major building on recipes project so all the recipes listed below are links to full recipes and each recipe includes a step by step video tutorial
Two separate recipes for cake must be prepared for this project so be sure to bake everything a day ahead of time to make the build day much easier!
Although you can make this cake project ever easier by using my Box Cake Hack for both recipes!
Today I am using 7″ cake pans for 2 thick layers of each flavor but 8″ cake pans can easily be used with no changes to the recipe!
You’ll notice in the recipe for black and white cookies and the buttercream I use butter flavor extract
This ingredient is optional but I do love it in both recipes!

Black and White Cookie Cake
Ingredients
for the white cake
for the chocolate cake
for the icing & garnish
Instructions
- Prepare all of the recipes according to the instructions on the linked recipe pages above
- The cake layers can be prepared well in advance as can the American Style Buttercream
- I like to prepare the ganache the morning of my cake build so it has time to firm up to at room temperature to a spreadable consistency without having to refrigerate it
- The mini black and white cookies can also be made several days in advance, so the entire build day for your cake is a total breeze!
- Watch the video for how I put this cake together! Honestly the picture shows how easy it is too!
Notes
Black and white cookie cake can be kept at room temperature for up to 3 days in a cool dry environment
For longer storage refrigerate for up to 1 week be careful the cookie icing doesn't start to melt from refrigerator condensation

I would like to know what vegan butter u use. I made the black and white cookies my batter was very thin
Gretchen
My preference is Earth Balance since it has the lowest moisture content
Also weighing the flour is always a good idea since using volume cups measure you will get a different result everytime
