When I first posted this recipe in August 2012, I was using an inferior iPhone 3 for a camera since that was still the very early days of food blogging for me. The pictures weren’t as clear as I would have liked, so I’ve been remaking all those first year recipes to get better pictures.
I recently I remade this coffeecake (June 2016) for a family that recently adopted a child. They loved the recipe and I have to admit, I ate more than my share of crumbs and small pieces. I still love this delightful recipe. If you’re a chocolate lover, I think you’ll agree.
Chocolate Swirl Coffee Cake is a spectacular coffee cake for holiday breakfasts.
Melted chocolate chips are swirled into the batter and the topping has pecans and coconut. Chocolate Swirl Coffee Cake is oh, so delicious.
Every bite of Chocolate Swirl Coffee Cake is so sensational, you won’t be able to get enough!
Here’s what I did.
I used these ingredients.
Put bisquick in a mixing bowl. Add sugar, eggs, sour cream, melted butter and milk.
Whisk all ingredients together and beat for 30 seconds.
Spray a 9×13″ glass baking dish with cooking spray. Pour batter into prepared dish.
Melt chocolate chips on stove top with 8 tbsp. unsalted butter.
Spread the chocolate over top of the batter.
Take a knife or wooden spoon and swirl the chocolate into the batter.
Place sugar, coconut, pecans and melted butter in a small mixing bowl.
Stir all the topping ingredients together thoroughly.
Sprinkle the topping ingredients evenly over top of the chocolate-swirled batter.
Bake at 350 for about 50-60 minutes or until done. Test with a toothpick for doneness. When toothpick inserted in center comes out clean then the coffee cake is done.
This is a great coffee cake to go along with morning tea.
I like to bake Chocolate Swirl Coffee Cake for company. Everyone loves it.
If you enjoy coffeecakes for breakfast or dessert, you’ll be drooling over this one from the first bite!
