Cake Recipe

I had a request for this recipe so thought I'd share it here. I got this from a co-worker back in the '80's, while I was still working as a dispatcher (a long, loooooong time ago.) It's been a family favorite ever since.

Ultimate Chocolate Chip Cake

2 cups all purpose or unbleached flour
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 1/3 cup dairy sour cream
2/3 cup margarine or butter, softened
1 tsp. vanilla
3 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon (I use 1 tablespoon of cinnamon)
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (I usually double this)

• Heat oven to 350 F. Grease (not oil) 13 x 9" pan.
  
• In large bowl, blend first 9 ingredients at low speed until moistened. Beat 3 minutes at medium speed.
  
• Pour 1/2 of batter (about 2.5 cups) into prepared pan.
  
• In small bowl, combine 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon.
  
• Sprinkle 1/2 sugar mixture and 1/2 chocolate chips over batter.
  
• Repeat with remaining batter, sugar mix and chocolate chips.
  
• Bake at 350 F for 35-40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
  
• Cake tastes much better if you let it cool before eating. Enjoy!
