How to Make Awesome Chocolate Chip Streusel Coffee Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour a 9x13 inch tube pan.
- Make the streusel topping: In a medium bowl, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1/4 cup rolled oats, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces. Mix with your fingers or a pastry blender until crumbly.
- Set aside half of the streusel topping.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- In a separate bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup sour cream, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Gently fold in 1 cup chocolate chips.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan.
- Sprinkle with half of the reserved streusel topping.
- Add the remaining cake batter over the streusel.
- Sprinkle with the remaining streusel topping.
- Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
