Chocolate Chip Coffee Cake

Hi all!

I decided to post a pin that I know is worthy of being pinned.  Every Christmas, my mom makes a delicious coffee cake.  It is probably one of my favorite parts of Christmas.  Below is the recipe as well as step by step photos for making the cake.

Chocolate Chip Coffee Cake Recipe:
1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 cup sour cream
2 cups sifted flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup butterscotch or peanut butter cups
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Before starting: Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

1.  Cream butter and sugar.


2.  Add eggs and blend throughly.


3.  Sift flour, baking powder, and baking soda in separate bowl.


4.  Gradually add the sifted flour, baking powder and baking soda into butter, sugar, and egg mixture.

It should look like the picture below once all the dry mixture has been added to the eggs, sugar, and butter mixture.

Random side note:  My puggle pup looked so precious while I making this that I had to take a snap shot. Love ya Benny... you are now a famous Puggle!


5.  Next, add 1 cup of sour cream and blend.


6.  Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and mix well.


7.  Next, you will start mixing the topping.  In a separate, large bowl, combine 1 cup chocolate chips, 1/2 cup butterscotch chips and 3/4 cup of brown sugar.


8.  Then, add 1 teaspoon of cinnamon to the bowl and mix well.


After mixed, it should look like the mixture below.


9.  You will need one of the following types of pans: angel food cake pan (used here), bundt pan, or springform pan.  Generously spray whatever pan you choose with Pam or some other non-stick spray.  After you spray your pan, sprinkle 1/3 of your topping mixture evenly into the pan.


10.  Then, add 1/3 of your blended mixture to the pan.  It won't look perfect, but you can spread it around with a spoon if you would like to even it out.


11.  After adding 1/3 of the blended mixture, add another 1/3 of the topping over top the blended mixture.  Continue alternating topping and blended mixture until you have added all of both mixtures.


12.  Bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes.  Let cool, but remove from pan while slightly warm.  Below is the finished result.  DELICIOUS!


I think it goes without saying that I approve of this pin... I mean it is my mother's recipe! ;)

I hope you all try this recipe out sometime... feel free to tell me what you think!

Happy pinspector Saturday, thanks for reading!
