Yield

1 (9-inch) cake

Ingredients

  • 2 cups — all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon — baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon — baking soda

  • ¼ teaspoon — salt

  • 1 (8 ounce) package — cream cheese, softened

  • ½ cup — unsalted butter, softened

  • 1 1/2 cups — white sugar, divided

  • 1 teaspoon — vanilla extract

  • 2 — eggs

  • ¼ cup — milk

  • 1 cup — semisweet chocolate chips

  • ½ cup — chopped pecans

  • 1 teaspoon — ground cinnamon

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.
  • Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.
  • Beat cream cheese and butter together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until well-blended, about 30 seconds. Beat in 1 1/4 cups sugar and vanilla extract until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add flour mixture, alternately with milk, mixing until just incorporated. Fold in chocolate chips; mixing just enough until evenly combined. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
  • Combine pecans, remaining 1/4 cup sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl; sprinkle over batter.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 50 to 55 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool. Serve warm.
