2 cups cake flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 lb unsalted butter, softened
1 1/4 cups sugar
2 large eggs
1/4 cup milk
1 (12 ounce) bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

Set oven rack to middle of oven; preheat to 350°.
Butter and flour a 12-cup straight-sided tube pan; set aside.
In a bowl, stir the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat cream cheese, butter, and sugar with the paddle on medium speed until soft and light, about 5 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating until smooth after each addition.
Lower mixer speed to Low and add half the dry ingredients; scrape down side of bowl and beater.
Beat in milk, then beat in remaining dry ingredients.

Make crumb topping: stir all the dry ingredients together in a bowl; mix well.
Stir in butter and continue stirring until the mixture forms large crumbs.
Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the batter.
Bake for about 50-55 minutes or until cake is well risen, the crumbs are golden, and pick comes out clean.
Cool cake in pan on a rack for about 15 minutes; invert cake to a plate, remove pan, then invert cake again onto the rack to cool completely.
