Sour Cream Chocolate Chip Cake

I don't remember where we got this recipe, but I know I looked for a from-scratch recipe for Maxim's train party. I made this cake, but made several small cakes in mini bread loaf pans (to make train cars). This recipe was really delicious and a keeper as far as cakes go. -- Stacy

Ingredients:

2 1/4 cup flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
3/4 cup butter
1 1/2 cup sugar
3 eggs
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 cup sour cream
9 oz. chocolate chips

Streusel:
1/4 cup and 2 T sugar
1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350° F. Mix flour, baking soda, and baking powder. Set aside. Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs one by one, mixing with butter/sugar mixture. Blend in vanilla. Add sour cream gradually, alternating with flour mix. Add chocolate chips. Pour half of the batter into floured 9X13 pan. Sprinkle streusel mixture then add remaining batter. Bake for 45 minutes.

Notes:

Tastes so much better than anything made from a cake mix!
