SOUR CREAM CHOCOLATE CHIP COFFEE CAKE



Sour Cream Chocolate Chip Coffee Cake image

Rich and tender from the addition of sour cream, and jam-packed with chocolate chips, this coffee cake is loved by all.

Provided by Jennifer Segal

Categories     Breakfast & Brunch

Time 1h

Yield 12-14

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups all purpose flour, spooned into measuring cup and leveled off with a knife
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
1 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 (12 oz) bag semi-sweet chocolate chips, best quality such as Ghirardelli
Cinnamon and Confectioners' sugar, for dusting (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and set an oven rack in the middle position. Generously grease a 10-cup Bundt pan with butter or nonstick cooking spray. (A 12-cup Bundt pan will work as well with no adjustments; it'll just make a shorter cake.)
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar for 2 to 3 minutes, until light and fluffy (use medium speed for a stand mixer or high speed for a hand-held mixer). Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla. Add ⅓ of the dry ingredients and mix on low speed until just combined. Mix in half of the sour cream, followed by another ⅓ of the dry ingredients, until just combined. Mix in the remaining sour cream, followed by the remaining dry ingredients, scraping down the bowl as necessary and mixing until just combined. Gently mix in the chocolate chips.
  • Scrape the batter into the prepared pan - it will come about halfway up the sides of the pan (or a little less than halfway in a 12-cup pan). Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown. Let the cake cool in the pan on a rack for 10 minutes, then invert onto the rack and allow to cool completely. Carefully transfer the cooled cake to a plate; dust with cinnamon first, then Confectioners' sugar, if desired. To slice the cake, use a serrated knife and sawing motion for best results. The cake keeps well for several days stored in a cake dome or covered tightly with aluminum foil.
  • Note: If using a pan other than a Bundt, baking time may need to be increased.
  • Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The cake can be frozen for up to 3 months. After it is completely cooled, double-wrap it securely with aluminum foil or plastic freezer wrap, or place it in heavy-duty freezer bag. Thaw overnight on the countertop before serving.

Tips:

  • To ensure your coffee cake has a moist and tender crumb, use a combination of all-purpose flour and cake flour. Cake flour is finer and has a lower protein content than all-purpose flour, which results in a lighter and more delicate texture.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, making the cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips. You can also use a combination of milk chocolate chips and dark chocolate chips.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • To prevent the cake from sticking to the pan, grease and flour the pan before adding the batter.
  • Bake the coffee cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This usually takes about 45-50 minutes.
  • Let the coffee cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.

Conclusion:

This rich chocolate chip coffee cake is the perfect treat for any occasion. It's moist, tender, and packed with chocolatey goodness. The cinnamon streusel topping adds a delicious crunch and flavor. Whether you're enjoying it for breakfast, brunch, or dessert, this coffee cake is sure to be a hit.
