Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 0.25 cup milk
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup butter, softened
• 0.5 cup chopped pecans
• 1.25 cups white sugar

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.

Step 2

Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Beat cream cheese and butter together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until well blended, about 30 seconds. Beat in 1 ¼ 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.

Step 5

Combine pecans, remaining ¼ cup sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl; sprinkle over batter.
