Chocolate Chip Coffee Cake

“When I was a teacher, this recipe was recommended by one of my student's parents. I've made it so many times, I can't imagine hosting a brunch without it. Chocolate chips add sweet bursts of flavor to the rich and tender coffee cake. --Michelle Krzmarzick Redondo Beach, California”

This was wonderful. Not too sweet and I love the addition of the chocolate chips.

This is so delicious - I keep making it over and over again. My family likes it with chocolate chips and cocoa powder on top and my boyfriend likes the whole thing with nuts, instead of chocolate chips. Both versions are great!

This was a lovely moist cake and I have been asked for the recipe on many occasions. I have also had success using this recipe in two loaf pans rather than as one big cake. I like to make one loaf to take out and then I put the other loaf in the freezer. Also if I leave out the milk and do not put the topping on, this makes a scrumptious muffin. Thank you for such a versatile recipe!

Perfect! Loved everything about this coffee cake. It turned out very moist and just sweet enough. The only thing I did differently was to bake it in a 9x13 glass dish for 45 minutes and it turned out great! Thanks!

This coffee cake is excellent! I followed the recipe exactly and it came out really good, my only complain is that cooking it for 55 min. is a little too long in my oven, the pecans were a little burnt and the edge was a little crusty and brown so next time I'm going to start checking at 45 min. also I;m going to add a little butter and flour to the topping as I think that will make it even better, overall it came out delicious, I'm a cooffe cake girl and this is one that I'll be making often. Thanks Michelle for sumitting your recipe.Update: 07-06-09 I made this cake to send to a potluck at my hubbys workplace and it was gone in a few min. everybody loved it! even people from other dept. that didn't even know my husband came looking for the person that had bring the cofeecake, 6 different ladies were begging him to bring them the recipe, and I didn't even try the changes I suggested above:) Delicious!

I was looking for a recipe to take to a potluck and this was amazing! I doubled the recipe to make one for my mom to take to a potluck as well and everyone from both places loved it! I'm definitely making this again soon. The cinnamon mixed with the chocolate chips seemed strange to me before I tried this, but they combined perfectly. The texture of this cake is amazing, as well.

Not bad, but nothing spectacular. I took this to a church brunch and brought about 1/3 home. To be fair, there was plenty of food, but I was hoping people would love it so much, they'd go back for seconds. I also have to say I didn't have any problems eating the leftovers. :) Again, not bad - just not the wow factor I was hoping for.

Absolutetely amazing coffee cake! My husband and daughter both commented that it tasted like something you'd get in a great little coffee shop/bakery, the kind that only exist in books and movies. I can't have pecans (migraines!), so I left those out and sprinkled a few extra chocolate chips on top of the cake. Next time (and there will be a next time for this recipe!), I'm going to try subbing some cocoa for some of the cinnamon on top.

Hands down the best coffee cake I have ever made or tasted!!! It was not dry at all, very moist. I added some Heath bits in the cake along with the chocolate chips. I also subbed the Heath Bits for the pecans on top...so yummy! It looked beautiful, smelled delicious while baking and, most of all, was loved by all. Thanks so much for this keeper of a recipe!

Really good. I love the richness that the cream cheese adds and all that butter, what more could you ask for? I took half to work and ended up passing out the recipe to everyone. I made a second cake and substituted cocoa powder for the cinnamon (I like CHOCOLATE!!!). It was even better.

I do not bake much, but wanted to give it a shot. This cake was absolutely one of the best I have ever had and so simple to make.( I followed the directions just as written ) My husband does not eat cake and had a few slices. I also like some of the other reviewers changes which I plan to try. Absolutely wonderful!!!!

I made it with chocolate/peanut butter chips and baked it is a bundt cake pan. I also changed the cinnamon sugar to cocoa and sugar. It turned out wonderfully and the family loved it! Very easy to make too.
