Steps:

Instructions Chocolate Chip Crumb Cake Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees and butter and flour a tube style (angel food) pan. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar using a stand or hand mixer. Mix in the eggs, vanilla and sour cream. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Place the chocolate chips in a small bowl and mix with one tablespoon of the flour mixture. This will help the chips to not sink to the bottom of the cake in the oven. Beat the flour mixture into the web batter just until incorporated and then fold in the chocolate chips. Pour into the prepared tube pan. Make the topping by mixing together the sugar, flour, salt and melted butter in a small bowl. When fully incorporated, stick it together with your hands and crumble it over the top of the cake batter. Bake for 50 - 55 minutes or until the crumb is a light golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean. Allow to cool thoroughly before removing from the pan. Melt the chocolate chips and butter together over a pot of steaming water or in the microwave and spoon over the cake, if desired.
