Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 teaspoons Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, room temperature
• 1.5 cups Sour cream
• 3 Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
• 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.5 cup Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
• 0.75 cup Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for glaze)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Add the sour cream to the wet mixture and mix until fully incorporated.

Step 6

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Fold in the chocolate chips gently with a spatula.

Step 8

In a small bowl, prepare the topping by mixing together the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and chopped nuts (if using).

Step 9

Pour half of the cake batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Sprinkle half of the topping mixture over the batter. Add the remaining batter on top and spread evenly. Sprinkle the rest of the topping over the top layer of batter.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

While the cake is cooling, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 12

Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake. Let it set for about 10 minutes before serving.
