Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.75 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 cup sour cream
• 0.25 cup milk
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup flour (for streusel)
• 0.25 cup brown sugar (for streusel)
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for streusel)
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted (for streusel)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking pan and set aside.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

Mix in the sour cream until smooth, followed by the milk. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 6

In a small bowl, combine the chocolate chips, cocoa powder, and cinnamon for the ripple layer. Set aside.

Step 7

For the streusel topping, mix the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a bowl. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture forms coarse crumbs.

Step 8

Spread half of the cake batter evenly into the prepared pan. Sprinkle the chocolate ripple mixture over the batter. Spread the remaining cake batter on top, carefully smoothing the surface with a spatula.

Step 9

Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the batter.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 20 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
