Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Mini chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional, e.g., walnuts or pecans)
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
Directions
Step 1
In a clean 1-quart glass mason jar, layer the ingredients in the following order: 1 cup of all-purpose flour, all of the brown sugar (1 cup, packed), the granulated sugar (1 cup), the mini chocolate chips (1 cup), and chopped nuts if using (0.5 cup).
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix the remaining 1 cup of flour, baking powder (2 teaspoons), salt (0.5 teaspoon), and ground cinnamon (2 teaspoons). Carefully pour this mixture into the jar as the final layer. Gently tap the jar on the counter to flatten each layer as needed for even distribution.
Step 3
Seal the jar tightly with its lid to preserve the freshness of the mix. Add a tag or note with the baking instructions for the recipient.
Step 4
For baking the coffee cake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch square or round baking pan.
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl, combine the jarred dry mix with 3/4 cup of milk, 1/3 cup of melted butter, and 2 large eggs. Stir until well blended and smooth.
Step 6
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 8
Allow the coffee cake to cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
