Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams unsalted butter, room temperature
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 260 grams all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 240 grams sour cream
- 150 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 100 grams light brown sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 60 grams unsalted butter, melted (for streusel)
- 80 grams all-purpose flour (for streusel)
- 50 grams semi-sweet chocolate chips (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and grease a 9-inch (23 cm) round cake pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the 260 grams of all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat 170 grams of unsalted butter and 200 grams of granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
With the mixer on low speed, alternately add the dry ingredients and the sour cream in three additions, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Fold in 150 grams of semi-sweet chocolate chips with a spatula. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
To make the streusel topping, combine 100 grams of light brown sugar, 1.5 teaspoons of ground cinnamon, 80 grams of all-purpose flour, and 60 grams of melted butter in a small bowl. Mix until crumbly.
Sprinkle the streusel mixture evenly over the cake batter, followed by 50 grams of semi-sweet chocolate chips for topping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully remove it from the pan and let it cool completely on a wire rack.
Slice and serve the Chocolate Chip Streusel Cake with coffee, tea, or as a delightful dessert!
