Chocolate Chip Cream Cheese Coffee Cake

(CCCCCC)This recipe has become one of my regular Christmas gifts. My family and friends each get their own small loaf, wrapped and decorated. One year I decided not to bake CCCCCC, and you should have heard the complaints!
This recipe will make 2 large loaves or 3-4 small loaves. I usually double (and sometimes triple) the recipe, depending on how many people I'm baking for.

Ingredients:

1/4 lb butter (1 cube)
8 oz. cream cheese
1 1/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup milk
6 oz. semi-sweet chocolate chips

Topping:

1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup pecans

Mix #1-5 in a large bowl, beat till creamy. Combine #6-8 in a separate bowl and blend slowly into large bowl. Stir in milk and chocolate chips with a large spoon.

Grease bread pans and fill with batter, 1/2 to 3/4 full.

Combine topping ingredients. Sprinkle over top of each loaf and bake at 350° for 50-55 minutes. Test by sticking a knife into the center of a loaf. If it comes out "clean", it's done!
