Ingredients

Units Scale
  • For the Cake:
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • For the Streusel Topping:
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or an 8×8-inch square pan.
  2. Make the cake batter: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat together softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with sour cream, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  5. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  6. Prepare the streusel topping: In a small bowl, combine flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Add cold cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  7. Assemble the cake: Pour half of the batter into the prepared cake pan. Sprinkle half of the streusel topping over the batter. Add the remaining batter and top with the remaining streusel.
  8. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and serve.

Notes

  • If you like a richer cake, you can add a handful of chopped nuts to the batter or streusel topping.
  • This cake can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
  • For extra flavor, you can drizzle a simple glaze made of powdered sugar and milk over the cooled cake.
