Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and lightly flour a 9x13-inch baking dish, or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
Mix in the sour cream and milk until smooth.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips gently using a spatula.
In a small bowl, prepare the crumb topping by combining the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Spread half of the batter into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Sprinkle half of the crumb topping evenly over the batter.
Spread the remaining batter over the crumb layer, followed by the remaining crumb topping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve the cake warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
