Chocolate Chip Coffee Cake

This wonderful coffee cake has the most beautiful, melting texture. It´s really even better if made a day ahead. Cake 3 cups flour 1-1/4 cups sugar 1/2 cup butter, softened 1 cup milk 2 eggs 1 Tbsp. baking powder 1 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. cinnamon Combine all ingredients and beat well on medium speed until smooth. Filling 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips 3/4 cup brown sugar 1/4 cup butter, softened 1/4 cup flour 1/2 cup chopped pecans Combine all filling ingredients in a medium bowl. In ungreased 10" tube pan, spread 1/3 of the cake batter. Top with half of the filling. Spread 1/3 of the batter over the filling (it probably won´t cover the filling completely, so don´t worry), then top with rest of filling. Cover with cake batter, as best you can. Bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes until brown and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove from pan immediately and cool on wire rack. Store tightly covered.
