Chocolate Chip Coffee Cake

 

I hope you're enjoying #BrunchWeek as much as I am!  For my second  recipe I'm going with a classic, coffee cake.  I found myself with an overload of chocolate chips and I found Trish Q's recipe on the Taste of Home website. 

 

 

I only made one small change to the recipe, I added 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the batter and used Ghiradelli semi sweet chocolate chips. It'd be great with dark chocolate chips too but my guys are die hard semi sweet fans.

 

 

 

The recipe says to put half of the batter on the bottom of the dish. I used my kitchen scale to make sure that I was putting half the batter on the bottom layer and not shorting myself on the top or vice versa. Mine took about 35 minutes to cook through because I used a glass pan.

 

 

For the topping, next time I'd cut the reserved sugar to toss with the cinnamon and chips to 1/4 cup, I think that's plenty.  In fact, I actually took a pastry brush and took some of the excess sugar off the top.
