Chocolate Chip Crumb Cake
Description
The Chocolate Chip Crumb Cake combines a lightly sweet crumb cake made from cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, and softened butter with Greek yogurt to keep it moist and tender. The batter incorporates a mix of semisweet and white chocolate chips that are evenly distributed to provide chocolate bites in each slice. The crumb topping, made from flour, brown sugar, and butter, adds a pleasant crunchy sweetness when baked.
Baked in a loaf pan, the cake develops a golden crust with a soft interior and a sweet, buttery crumb topping. It slices cleanly and offers a pleasing texture contrast between crumb and cake. This cake is convenient for morning treats, casual dessert, or afternoon coffee pairing.
For best results, allow the cake to cool fully before slicing. Stored covered at room temperature, it stays fresh for a couple of days and improves in flavor after resting overnight. It also freezes well for extended storage and can be thawed in the refrigerator.
