How to Make Cinnamon Chocolate Chip Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch rectangular baking pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, prepare the cinnamon topping: Combine ½ cup packed light brown sugar, ¼ cup all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, and ¼ cup chopped walnuts (optional). Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, and 2 large eggs until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 1 cup plain yogurt and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan.
  8. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon topping evenly over the batter.
  9. Pour the remaining batter over the topping, and sprinkle with the remaining topping mixture.
  10. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before serving. Enjoy!
