Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 2 large eggs
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1.25 cups chocolate chips
• 0.75 cups light brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter (for streusel topping)
• 0.5 cups all-purpose flour (for streusel topping)
• 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or spray with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a large bowl, cream the butter using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy. Add the buttermilk, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Fold in 1 cup of the chocolate chips, reserving 1/4 cup for later.

Step 6

Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.

Step 7

In a separate small bowl, combine the brown sugar, cinnamon, and the remaining 1/4 cup chocolate chips. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the batter in the dish.

Step 8

Pour the remaining batter on top and spread gently to cover the streusel layer.

Step 9

In another small bowl, prepare the streusel topping by combining 1/4 cup softened butter, 1/2 cup flour, and 1/2 cup brown sugar. Mix with a fork until crumbly. Sprinkle this streusel mixture evenly over the top of the cake.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes before slicing.

Step 12

(Optional) Dust the top with powdered sugar before serving for added sweetness and presentation.

Step 13

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
