If you're planning a stop at Disney Springs and have a sweet tooth, Summer House on the Lake has a dessert worth building your visit around. The restaurant is currently serving a 6-Layer Chocolate Cookie Cake priced at $15.95 — a towering construction of alternating chocolate chip cake, whipped cookie dough, and frosting, finished with a warm pourable caramel sauce and cookie dough pieces on top.
The cake itself has three fluffy chocolate chip cake layers that are soft and studded with chocolate chips, giving them a fresh-baked cookie look and feel. Two cookie dough layers sit between them, slightly runny and sweet with a raw dough flavor, while two frosting layers provide a light vanilla contrast that doesn't overwhelm the chocolate. The cookie dough pieces on top are firmer and add textural interest more than flavor.
A few details are worth knowing before you dig in. The plate is garnished with sea salt chunks that can deliver a sharp, intense salty punch in certain bites — something that didn't always blend seamlessly with the sweeter components. The caramel sauce, while warm and nicely runny, leans subtle rather than bold. That said, the overall experience is rich, layered, and genuinely fun — particularly for anyone who loves cookie dough as a dessert element.
At under $16, this is a generously sized slice that's well suited for sharing between two people. It's the kind of indulgent, over-the-top treat that Disney Springs does well — unexpected enough to feel like a discovery, approachable enough to order without much deliberation.
