Ingredients

• 1 ½ cup butter or margarine, softened
• 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
• 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, divided
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¼ cup milk
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 2 cups fresh raspberries
• ¼ cup chopped pecans
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Procedure

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the butter, cream cheese, and 1¼ cups of sugar. Beat until creamy. Then beat in eggs and vanilla.
2. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; slowly add it to the creamed mixture alternately with the milk. Stir in chocolate chips. Gently fold in the raspberries.
3. Pour batter into a greased 9x13-inch pan.
4. With a fork, mash brown sugar, cinnamon, and remaining butter until chunky, mixing in pecans if desired. Sprinkle over batter.
5. Bake at 350°F for 50–55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in several places comes out clean.
6. Cool for 15 minutes. Carefully run a knife or spatula around the edge of the pan to loosen.
7. Cool completely before cutting.
