Preheat oven to 350F. Lightly grease a 9-inch round spring form cake pan.

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk flour, baking powder and salt together.

In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Beat in eggs, one at a time, and vanilla extract.

Mix in half of the flour mixture, followed by the buttermilk

and then the rest of the flour mixture.

Stir only until no streaks of flour remain, then stir in chocolate chips.

Pour batter into prepared pan, then prepare the topping.

In a small or medium bowl, combine flour, brown sugar,

ground cinnamon and salt.

Cut butter into several chunks and add to flour mixture.

Rub in with your fingertips until mixture resembles coarse sand.

Sprinkle evenly onto cake batter already in pan.

Bake at 375F for 25-30 minutes a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with only a few moist crumbs attached.

Cool cake completely (in the pan is fine) on a wire rack before serving.
