Chocolate Chip SourCream Cinnamon Coffee Cake

Cream:
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Premixed Dry Ingredients:
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  •  
  • Middle Layer:
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • I know, it's a cake, but use the creaming method (butter, sugar, then eggs/sourcream/vanilla, then premixed dry ingredients).  It comes out as a doughy batter that is difficult to spread, but make the sacrifice; the sugar/cinnamon/chocolate chip should go in the middle between two halves of the batter.  

  • Makes a good 'coffee cake', which roughly translated from our childhood is 'cake we can have for breakfast even though it isn't really any healthier than a regular cake'.  

  • Bake at 350 in a greased 13x9.  Good luck with the timing; it's supposed to be 25-30 minutes, but it took me more like 40.  Toothpick test or shake it a little and hope it doesn't fall.
