By Cindy

Ingredients

• Topping:
• 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 tbsp flour
• 2 tbsp butter or regular margarine, softened
• 1/2 cup chopped nuts
• 2 cups (12 oz.) mini semisweet chocolate chips, divided
• Cake:
• 1 3/4 cups flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter or regular margarine, softened
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup sour cream

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease a 13 x 9 inch baking dish. For the topping:
Combine brown sugar, flour, and butter in a small bowl with a pastry blender or
two knives until the mixture is crumbly. Stir in the nuts and 1/2 cup morsels.
For the cake: Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a
small bowl. Beat in the granulated sugar, butter, and vanilla extract in a
large mixer bowl until creamy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after
each addition. Gradually add the flour mixture alternately with the sour cream.
Fold in the remaining morsels. Spread into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle
with the topping. Bake for 25 to 35 minutes or until a wooden toothpick
inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool well on a wire rack
