👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×9-inch pan (or 8×8 for a thicker cake).

2. Make the streusel:
   In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, cinnamon, and flour. Cut in the cold butter until crumbly. Stir in extra chocolate chips if using. Set aside.

3. Make the batter:

   • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

   • In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

   • Beat in eggs one at a time, then mix in sour cream and vanilla.

   • Gradually stir in dry ingredients until just combined.

   • Fold in chocolate chips.

4. Assemble the cake:

   • Spread half the batter into the prepared pan.

   • Sprinkle half the streusel topping over it.

   • Spread the remaining batter on top, then finish with the rest of the streusel.

5. Bake for 35–45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

6. Cool slightly before serving. Great warm or at room temperature.
