Baking 2.0 - Cookie Monster Cake

Hey guys! (:

One week has passed and it's now time for a new recipe - the Cookie Monster Cake.

You're gonna need the following ingredients to create this monstrous cake:

For the dough:
- 500g Flour
- 200g Sugar
- 1TS Vanilla Essence
- 1TS Baking Powder
- 250g Butter
- 2 Eggs
- 1/8l Milk
- 100g Chocolate (50%)
- 1TS Cocoa Powder

For the filling:
- optionally chocolate or vanilla pudding
- 1/4l Milk

For the decoration:
- 100g Coconut Flakes
- 1 Pck. Cookies
- 1x Food Colouring (blue)
- Oreo Cookies (white)
- 1/2Pck. Icing Sugar

Preparation:
For the dough:
1. Beat the butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla essence together until it gets creamy
2. Cut the chocolate into small pieces and melt it over the hot steam of water. Afterwards it has to be cooled down and be put into the dough
3. Mix the flour with the baking powder and cocoa powder. Strain that into the bowl and pour the milk in next
4. The stirred dough can be split into two parts and be baked separately for about 40 minutes each (180°C circulating air)
5. While the dough cooks, the time can be used to mix and cook the pudding. Therefore you just have to follow the instructions on the packaging
6. Spread the cooled pudding equally on top of the one layer and place the second one on top of it

For the decoration:
1. Place the coconut flakes into a bowl and dye them carefully with food colouring
2. Mix the icing sugar with water until a creamy frosting is created
3. This can now be spread over the entire cake surface to paste the flakes
4. After placing the coconut flakes on top of the cake you can break the cookies into small pieces and put them in form of a mouth onto it.
5. For the eyes we used white Oreo Cookies which can be stuck onto the cake with the frosting as well (for the pupil you can use any leftover pudding)

& the artwork is done! (:

As always we hope that you will have lots of fun while trying this! (:
