    Deena's Cinnamon-Choc. Chip Coffee Cake


    Source of Recipe


    Deena (eGullet's Deensiebat) on her blog "Mostly Foodstuffs" - adapted from Smitten Kitchen

    Recipe Introduction


    Delicious, especially WARM! This came together very easily. I didn't do a very good job making sure that the two layers were even and my coffee cake wasn't as pretty as Deena's, but it still tasted fantastic.

    List of Ingredients




    3 cups flour
    1 tsp baking powder
    1 1/2 tsp baking soda
    1/2 tsp salt
    1 stick (4 ounces) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
    1 1/2 cups sugar
    3 eggs, separated
    1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
    16 ounces sour cream

    12 ounces chocolate chips (usually one package)
    1/2 cup sugar mixed with 1 tsp cinnamon

    Recipe



    Preheat your oven to 350 degrees, grease and flour a 9x13 cake pan.

    Sift the flour, baking powder and baking soda together, and set aside. Whip the egg whites to stiff peak stage, and set aside.

    Cream together the butter and sugar until it's light and fluffy. Add the egg yolks and vanilla, and mix well. Gently mix half the sour cream into the batter, then half the flour mixture, then repeat with the remaining halves (be careful not to over-mix). Mix in about a third of the egg whites to lighten the mixture, then gently fold in the remainder, again being careful not to over-mix.

    Pour half the batter into your prepared cake pan. Sprinkle on half the chocolate chips, and half the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Gently spread the remaining batter on top, and finish with the remaining chocolate chips and cinnamon-sugar. Bake until a tester comes out clean, about 40-50 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.

    yields 1 9x13 cake
