Description

Made extra moist with sour cream, this cinnamon-spiced chocolate chip coffee cake is lovely for a weekend brunch or afternoon snack.

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 1/2 cups white sugar, divided
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 large eggs
1 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch pan.
2 Stir flour, baking powder, and baking soda together in a medium bowl. Combine chocolate chips, 1/2 cup sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl.
3 Cream remaining 1 cup sugar and butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer. Mix in eggs, sour cream, and vanilla until well combined. Mix in flour mixture until incorporated; batter will be thick.
4 Spread 1/2 of the batter into the prepared pan. Sprinkle 1/2 of the chocolate chip mixture over top. Repeat layers once more.
5 Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes.
6 Remove from the oven and place onto a wire rack to cool.
