    • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
    • 2 tbsp oil (canola or vegetable)
    • 3/4 cup white granulated sugar
    • 1/4 cup brown sugar (light or dark), packed

    • 1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
    • 2 tbsp milk
    • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Cinnamon Crumble: In a small bowl, mix together flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Stir in melted butter using a fork until crumbly. Chill in the fridge while preparing the rest of the recipe.
  2. Chocolate Chip Cream Cheese Layer: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 9×9-inch baking pan with nonstick spray and line the bottom and two sides with parchment paper. Using a hand mixer, beat cream cheese and sugar on high for 1 minute. Add vanilla and flour; mix on medium speed until combined. Add egg and mix on low just until combined. Fold in chocolate chips. Set aside.
  3. Chocolate Chip Cake: In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a large bowl, beat butter, oil, and sugars on high speed for 2 minutes. Add sour cream, vanilla, and eggs. Mix on medium speed until combined. Add dry ingredients alternately with buttermilk. Fold in mini chocolate chips. Mix just until combined. Spread cake batter evenly into prepared pan. Dollop cream cheese mixture on top and gently spread using an offset spatula. Break up crumble mixture and sprinkle evenly over the top.
  4. Bake: Bake for 40–50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 20 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  5. Vanilla Icing: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth and pourable. Drizzle icing over the cooled cake before serving.
