How to Make Sour Cream Cake With Chocolate Chips

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  4. Add 1 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 2 large eggs to the dry ingredients.
  5. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed for 3 minutes, then increase to medium speed and beat for another 2 minutes, or until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Pour half of the batter into the prepared pan.
  7. In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  8. Sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture and 1 cup chocolate chips evenly over the batter in the pan.
  9. Repeat layers with the remaining batter, cinnamon-sugar mixture, and chocolate chips.
  10. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
