Cinnamon Coffee Cake With Chocolate Chips Recipe
Servings: 9 - 12
Ingredients
For the Topping
- ¼ cup of sugar
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups flour
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- pinch salt
Wet Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter room temperature
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 cup non-fat vanilla yogurt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350° F
- Butter a 9-inch square cake pan.
- In a medium bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and creamy. Beat means to mix the butter and sugar vigorously with a spoon, fork, or electric mixer.
- Add the eggs, one at a time while being sure to blend the mixture well after each addition.
- Add the vanilla and mix all together.
- Mix the dry ingredients into the butter mixture and then the yogurt. Be sure to mix everything until just combined. Finally, add the chocolate chips.
- Spread the batter in the buttered pan and sprinkle the topping mixture of sugar and cinnamon on top. Press down lightly with your hand so the topping does not move when the cake rises.
- Bake in the oven for 30 to 40 minutes until done.
Notes
My daughter used a toothpick to determine if the cake was done or needed more time. She stuck the toothpick into the cake and if it came out clean it was done, if cake stuck to the toothpick, it needed more time.
