Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
-
Butter an 11x7x1 3/4-inch baking pan or ovenproof glass baking dish.
-
In a large bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Mix with an electric mixer on low speed for 15 seconds.
-
Add the butter pieces to the dry mixture and mix until the butter pieces are the size of peas. Loose flour should still be visible.
-
Mix in the egg. The mixture will still look dry.
-
Rub any lumps out of the baking soda and gently mix the baking soda into the sour cream.
-
Stir the sour cream mixture and the milk (if using) into the batter. Stir just until the batter is evenly moistened.
-
Stir in the chocolate chips. The batter will be thick.
-
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan.
-
Bake for about 40-47 minutes, or until the middle feels slightly soft and the edges are firm when gently pressed. A toothpick inserted in the center should have a few crumbs clinging to it.
-
Cool on a wire baking rack. Note that the center of the cake may sink slightly as it cools.
