Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
• 0.75 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup sour cream
• 0.25 cup whole milk
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and butter or spray a 9x9-inch baking pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper for easier removal.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and melted butter. Mix well until smooth and creamy.

Step 4

Add the eggs to the sugar mixture, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Mix in the sour cream and milk until fully incorporated.

Step 6

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, being careful not to overmix. The batter will be thick.

Step 7

Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 8

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 9

To make the crumb topping, combine 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup of cold butter (cut into small cubes) in a small bowl. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 10

Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the cake batter.

Step 11

Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 12

Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 13

Dust the top with powdered sugar before serving, if desired. Slice and enjoy!
