Easy Chocolate Chip Coffee Cake

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch springform pan.

Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl.

Beat cream cheese and butter together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until well-blended, about 30 seconds. Beat in 1 1/4 cups sugar and vanilla extract until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add flour mixture, alternately with milk, mixing until just incorporated. Fold in chocolate chips; mixing just enough until evenly combined. Pour batter into the prepared pan.

Combine pecans, remaining 1/4 cup sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl; sprinkle over batter.

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 50 to 55 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool. Serve warm.
