Ingredients

COFFEE CAKE:
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup firm butter, cut into pieces
2/3 cup buttermilk
1 - egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
STREUSEL:
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon baking cocoa (unsweetened cocoa, the same thing you would use to make hot cocoa)
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1/4 to 1/2 cup miniature semi-sweet chocolate chips

How To Make dreamy chocolate streusel coffee cake

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine 1-1/2 cups flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder and soda, and salt until well mixed. Cut in the butter, using a pastry blender (or pulling 2 knives through ingredients in opposite directions) until mixture is crumbly. Add buttermilk, egg and vanilla. Beat with electric mixer on medium speed for 1 minute. Spread in an 8-inch square pan that has been greased on the bottom only.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix all the streusel ingredients, except the chocolate chips, with a fork until mixture is crumbly. Sprinkle over batter and then sprinkle with chocolate chips. Recipe calls for just 1/4 cup chips, but I think 1/2 cup would be better. Use your own judgement, depending on how much chocolate you like.
Step 3

Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for 35 to 45 minutes, or until toothpick inserted near center comes out clean. Cool for 30 minutes and serve warm.
