Equipment

  • 9-inch square baking pan

Ingredients
  

Chocolate Chip Coffee Cake

  • ½ cup vegetable oil (or other neutral oil)
  • ½ cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
  • 3 tablespoon 2% milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar (230g)
  • 2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • cups all-purpose flour (187g)
  • teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ cup mini chocolate chips (90g)

Mocha Streusel

  • ½ cup salted butter (softened at room temperature)
  • 1 cup brown sugar (225g)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (125g)
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ cup mini chocolate chips (90g)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoon instant coffee
  • 1 tablespoon dark cocoa powder

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray the baking pan with cooking spray.
  • In a large bowl, combine the oil, sour cream, milk, eggs, sugar, and vanilla with a whisk until the wet ingredients are smooth.
  • In a medium bowl, toss the flour with the salt, baking powder, and chocolate chips.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix the batter together with a wooden spoon or spatula until just combined and no flour streaks remain.
  • In the medium bowl that you used for the dry ingredients, combine the streusel ingredients well (using your fingers is best!) until you have a mixture of fine and coarse crumbs.
  • Add half of the coffee cake batter to the pan and spread it to the edges. Sprinkle it with half of the streusel mixture. Repeat these layers, finishing with an even layer of the streusel.
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center of the coffee cake comes out clean.
  • Allow the coffee cake to cool for at least 30 minutes, it will slice even better when completely cooled. Slice into 12 even pieces and serve.
