Chocolate Chip Coffee Cake

We enjoyed this for breakfast
over the weekend...
Well, actually, only on Saturday
(with our son enjoying
the last small sliver Sunday morning).
The 9x13 dish of this yummy delight
did NOT last long...




Chocolate Chip Coffee Cake

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar, divided
2 eggs
1 cup sour cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups unbleached flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup semisweet OR dark chocolate chips
1 tsp ground cinnamon


In large mixing bowl,
cream butter and 1 cup of sugar
until light and fluffy.
Add eggs, sour cream, and vanilla;
mix well.
Combine flour, baking powder and soda;
add to creamed mixture
(batter will be thick).

Spread half of the batter
into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
Combine chocolate chips, cinnamon,
and remaining sugar in a bowl;
sprinkle half over batter.
Drop remaining batter
by spoonfuls over top,
spreading carefully.
Sprinkle with remaining chip mixture.
Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes.
Cool on wire rack.
Cut into squares and enjoy!
