Chocolate Chip Coffee Cake

I absolutely adore this recipe! I've started to make cake-y type, perfect with coffee breakfast recipes on Sunday mornings. This is by far the easiest and best coffee cake recipe I've made to date. I know not everyone loves sour cream, but I promise baking with it makes for a incredibly moist, rich recipe. Think cream cheese, but without the "thickness" and "weight".


This recipe comes from Two Peas & Their Pod. Maria and Josh are the faces behind this wonderful blog. It's one of the first few I started to follow back when I started my blog. Most of the recipes I've saved from their blog are sweets - they are always posting the very best sweets: Andes Mint Brownies, Peanut Butter Snickers Cookies, Raspberry Truffle Brownies, Twix Caramel Brownies, and Chocolate Chip Cookie Milkshakes. Just to name a few! :) One of my favorite parts about Two Peas is at the bottom of each recipe post, there is a list of other recipes that are similar to the one you are looking at. Some may be from Two Peas, but the majority send you to other blogs. I really appreciate the community that Maria and Josh promote!
