Chocolate Chip Coffee Cake

I make this for my husband on the weekends, and for people I love the most!!!

Have all ingredients at room temp, preheat the oven to 350 degrees, grease a 9x9 inch pan.

Whisk together thoroughly:

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup sugar

2 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. baking soda

1/4 tsp. salt

Beat well in a large bowl:

1 cup sour cream

2 lg. eggs

1 cup Semi sweet chocolate chips

Add the dry ingredients and beat until just smooth, overbeating tends to make the cake tough.

Spread in the greased pan, Sprinkle with Streusel, recipe follows, bake for 30-40 minutes or a toothpick comes out clean. All ovens are different, I like to use my convection for the last 10 minutes to put a little color on top

Streusel Topping

In a food processor put:

2 Tablespoons Flour

1/3 cup Brown Sugar

3 tablespoons Butter

Blend  for 60 seconds in short spurts.

Then add

1/3 cup coconut

1/3 cup walnuts

Blend until nuts are rough chopped.

Sprinkle more chips on top if  desired.

Let cool before cutting, also cut with a wet knife to make a clean cut.
