Easy Chocolate Chip Coffee Cake Recipe

Preheat 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 butter and cream cheese 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 mixture is light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time allowing each egg to blend into the butter mixture before adding the next. Pour in the flour mixture alternately with the milk mixing until just incorporated. Fold in chocolate chips; mixing just enough to evenly combine. Pour the batter into prepared pan.

Mix pecans 1/4 cup sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl; sprinkle over batter.
