Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1.25 cups chocolate chips
- 0.75 cups light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter (for streusel topping)
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour (for streusel topping)
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or spray with nonstick cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream the butter using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy. Add the buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in 1 cup of the chocolate chips, reserving 1/4 cup for later.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
In a separate small bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and the remaining 1/4 cup chocolate chips. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter in the dish.
Pour the remaining batter on top and spread gently to cover the streusel layer.
In another small bowl, prepare the streusel topping by combining 1/4 cup softened butter, 1/2 cup flour, and 1/2 cup brown sugar. Mix with a fork until crumbly. Sprinkle this streusel mixture evenly over the top of the cake.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes before slicing.
(Optional) Dust the top with powdered sugar before serving for added sweetness and presentation.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
