How to Make Awesome Chocolate Chip Streusel Coffee Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease and flour a 9x13 inch tube pan.
  3. 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.
  4. Set aside half of the streusel topping.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. Gently fold in 1 cup chocolate chips.
  9. Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan.
  10. Sprinkle with half of the reserved streusel topping.
  11. Add the remaining cake batter over the streusel.
  12. Sprinkle with the remaining streusel topping.
  13. Bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  14. 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!
