Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 0.75 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 3 whole large eggs, room temperature
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 0.75 cups brewed coffee, cooled
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips
- 0.5 cups brown sugar
- 0.25 cups unsalted butter, melted (for streusel)
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour (for streusel)
- 0.25 cups unsweetened cocoa powder (for streusel)
- 0.25 cups granulated sugar (for streusel)
- 0.25 cups dark chocolate chips (for streusel)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the granulated sugar and softened butter together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
On low speed, alternate adding the dry ingredients and the cooled brewed coffee in three additions, starting and ending with the dry ingredients.
Gently fold in the sour cream and dark chocolate chips until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
To make the streusel topping, combine the brown sugar, melted butter, flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, and dark chocolate chips in a small bowl. Mix until crumbly.
Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the cake batter.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs.
Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve as is or with a dusting of powdered sugar for a finishing touch. Enjoy!
