Ingredients
- 2.25 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup sour cream
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chunks
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 cup powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a separate large mixing bowl, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar together until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes using an electric mixer.
Step 4
Add the eggs to the butter mixture one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the sour cream, and mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cake tender.
Step 6
Fold the chocolate chunks into the batter gently using a spatula.
Step 7
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Step 8
In a small bowl, mix together the remaining brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the batter to create the crumb topping.
Step 9
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 10
Allow the coffee cake to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. If desired, dust the top with powdered sugar before serving.
Step 11
Slice into squares and enjoy with a hot cup of coffee or tea!
