Cinnamon & Chocolate Chips Coffee Cake

Today's post its going to be a fantabulous coffee cake with my favourite two ingredients,cinnamon and chocolate chips. Yes these two ingrements makes me crazy everytime i bake with them in anything. Cake or bread just make them with these two ingredients and sure you will see the difference,trust me you will love this rocking combination. Today my alphabetic letter for my baked dishes theme for this month's long marathon is 'C', when i chosed baked dishes as this week's theme i know i'll be making a cinnamon chocolate combo bake. Finally i baked this coffee cake, an excellent tea time snacks to enjoy thoroughly with your cup of tea or coffee.

I got this cake's recipe from Diana's Desserts,the original recipe goes for chocolate chunks but i went for chocolate chips.Chocolate chunks or chips thats doesnt make much difference na. However this cake was a big hit among my friends, coz i baked this coffee cake for a small get together happened at our home before a month. This recipe is definitely a keeper which am gonna mix and match the ingredients in future, you can replace the sour cream with yogurt if you are not able to get them.Sending to Srivalli's Cake Mela.
