In this loose interpretation of my mom's chocolate chip-sour cream bundt cake, sweet rice flour, all-purpose flour and a healthy amount of sour cream combine to create a rich, plush cake with a moist and structured crumb. Baked in a versatile 8-inch square pan and generously studded with melty semisweet chocolate chips, this snackable cake is simple but surprisingly decadent, a reminder that at the end of the day, cake should taste good and be a joy to eat. Enjoy a homey, comforting slice with your fingers or a fork - there are no rules here.

Provided by Joy Cho

Time 1h45m

Yield 16 servings (one 8-inch square cake)

Number Of Ingredients 13

Nonstick cooking spray, for the pan
3/4 cup (105 grams) all-purpose flour
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons (105 grams) sweet rice flour, such as Mochiko
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon (150 grams) full-fat sour cream, at room temperature
2 tablespoons milk, at room temperature
1 heaping cup (200 grams) semisweet chocolate chips, plus more for topping

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease an 8-inch square pan with nonstick cooking spray. Line the bottom with parchment, leaving a 2-inch overhang on the sides (to make it easier to remove the cake after baking) and grease the parchment.
  • Combine the all-purpose flour, sweet rice flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl and whisk until combined.
  • Beat the butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the sugar and cream the mixture until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Scrape down the bowl with a rubber spatula. Add in the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition until combined. Scrape the bowl once more, then beat in the vanilla. Sift half of the dry ingredients over the egg mixture and beat just until combined. Beat in the sour cream and milk, then sift in the rest of the dry ingredients and beat just until the batter is smooth. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Spread the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the surface with a small offset spatula. Sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top. Bake the cake, rotating the pan halfway through, for about 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 20 minutes, then gently loosen the edges with a small offset spatula and carefully transfer the cake (using the parchment sling to assist) onto a rack to cool completely.

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.
