I love this cake recipe. A co-worker made it for several events and then gave us the recipe. We use MINI chocoate chips and it tastes great and is super moist and soft.

I've made this a few times now as written and like other reviewer's I added 1/2 cup applesauce for moistness. Also, to give it another twist I replaced vanilla extract with almond essence as this reminded me of a German cake my mother used to make. I like both versions, but prefer my little twist of almond essence in the batter and include almond slivers in the topping for when having visitors.

I thought this coffee cake was dry even though I baked it for the minimum time suggested. Also, I would suggest putting ALL of the cinnamon sugar mixture in the middle of the coffee cake with just chocolate chips on the top. The sugar just sat on top of the cake rather than baking in as I thought it would.

I didn't get to try this but my son and 2 friends ate the entire thing on their way to a baseball tournament and asked me to make another one when they got home.

This cake is delicious, but the batter is very thick and hard to work with. In the batter I substitute half white sugar and half brown sugar and use brown sugar and a bit of butter with the chocolate chips . You just kind of have to smear the batter over the top as best you can, it's not pretty, But crumble more topping on, and you can't tell. Using the brown sugar gives it much more of a gooey chocolate chip cookie taste in a cake!

A bit dry and dense, needed more applesauce than most people recommended.

My 7 year old made this (with my supervision) and it was so easy to make. Plus it is VERY moist! My husband and co-workers just loved it.

Difficult batter to work with- didn't think i would have enough for the 13 x 9 pan, but it came out great in the end. Would make it again and add the applesauce as suggested below for additional moisture. Used mini chips and suggest those to all!

Very good. Added the 1/2 cup of (unsweetened) applesauce, as suggested, and was very pleased with the crumb. Came together very quickly and easily and had all ingredients on hand. Will definitely make this again.
