Quick Chocolate Chip Coffee Cake
Quick Chocolate Chip Coffee Cake combines soft cake, chocolate chips, and a crumbly streusel topping for a simple, indulgent treat.
Ingredients
- For the Cake:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- For the Streusel Topping:
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1/4 cup cold butter cubed
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch pan.
- Mix flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
- In another bowl, whisk together melted butter, milk, egg, and vanilla.
- Gradually fold wet ingredients into the dry mixture until just combined.
- Stir in chocolate chips gently, so you don’t break them (or eat them all).
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top.
- For the streusel, mix brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon in a small bowl.
- Cut in cold butter until crumbly, then sprinkle the mixture over the batter.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool slightly before serving warm, or attack it directly from the pan.
