Yield Makes 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

Topping
1 cup finely chopped pecans
1/4 cup whole pecans
1 12-ounce package of chocolate chips
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
Batter
2 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
2 eggs
1 cup sour cream
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup powdered sugar (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter a 10- to 12-cup Bundt pan; dust with flour.
  • For topping:
  • In a medium bowl, combine brown sugar, chocolate chips, chopped pecans, and cinnamon, and set aside.
  • For batter:
  • Sift flour, baking powder, and baking soda into a medium bowl and set aside.
  • Using an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar until completely blended. Beat in eggs and then sour cream until the mixture is creamy and smooth. Slowly add the sifted dry ingredients, making certain to scrape the sides of the bowl into the mixture. Stir in the cinnamon and vanilla. Mix until batter is well blended.
  • Sprinkle whole pecans on the bottom of the prepared pan. Evenly distribute 1/4 cup of topping in the pan. Fold the remaining topping into the batter until mixed well. Pour the batter into the pan, spread evenly, and bake 35-40 minutes. To test that the cake is done, insert a tester (I use a toothpick) into the center. If the cake is done, it will come out clean, without any batter sticking to it.
  • Cool the cake for at least 20 minutes in the pan. Once the cake has cooled, put a plate or serving piece you will use upside down on top of the cake pan, so that the face of the plate covers the open portion of the cake pan completely. Invert the plate and pan at the same time and place on a flat surface. Using pot holders, slowly raise the pan so that the cake stands upright on the serving plate. Sprinkle with powdered sugar to decorate.

This cake is delicious! The sour cream makes it extra moist and the chocolate chips add a perfect amount of sweetness. I will definitely be making this again.

I'm not a big fan of sour cream, but I decided to give this recipe a try anyway. I was pleasantly surprised! The sour cream actually adds a nice flavor to the cake.

This cake was a bit dry. I think I might have overcooked it.

This is the best chocolate chip cake I've ever had! It's so moist and flavorful, and the sour cream adds a nice touch of tanginess. I will definitely be making this again and again.

This cake was a bit too sour for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sour cream next time.

Just made this cake and it turned out great! It was easy to follow the recipe and the cake came out perfectly. The sour cream gives it a nice tanginess that pairs well with the chocolate chips. Will definitely make it again!
