We are trying to eat healthy, but who doesn’t love chocolate once in a while? I don’t cook sweet things as often as I used to, but when I have company coming it’s nice to bake this rich and tender chocolate chip coffee cake! Nothing will get your company out of bed in the morning then the smell of this delicious coffee cake fresh from the oven!
