1 1/2 cup AP Flour
1 teaspoon baking powder

Get-It-Made:
Preheat oven to 325°.
Combine chocolate chips and 1 teaspoon flour in a small bowl; toss.
Lightly spoon 2 3/4 cups (minus 1 Tablespoon) flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt.
Place cream cheese and butter in a bowl; beat with a mixer at high speed to blend. Add granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla; beat until blended. 
Add eggs, 1 at a time; beat well after each addition. Beat on high speed 1 minute. 
With mixer on low, add flour mixture and liqueur alternately to sugar mixture, beginning and ending with flour mixture; beat well after each addition. 
Fold in chocolate chips. 
Pour batter into a 12-cup Bundt pan coated with baking spray and lightly floured.
Bake at 325° for 55 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes on a wire rack; remove from pan.
Cool completely on wire rack.
Sift powdered sugar over cake.

I am going to double check on this because I am interested if these are correct estimates- I will probably use a recipe calculator and will update if needed. I will also be taking it over to Jeff’s Mom and Dad’s today for a "family get together" … along with some leftover Mocha Swirl Cheesecake and B Healthy Veggie Girl Blondies if they turn out alright!
BIG QUESTION:
Should I do a citrus glaze, a rum glaze or sift powdered sugar?
