2 Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Coffee Cake

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Coffee Cake
This is a moist, tender coffee cake that is best served warm from the oven for breakfast or a quick snack...

The first time I saw this recipe, I was not particularly drawn to the title: Peanut Butter Cake. Further down the recipe, however, was the option for Peanut Butter-Chocolate Cake. This title is still misleading to me. I chose to rename it because it resembles a coffee cake with the crumble topping. Chocolate...AND peanut butter....now, that's a combination to win me over! Now look at that crumble topping....

  1. Looks delish! I love how you changed the title to "Coffee Cake", so we don't have to feel guilty when we eat it for breakfast. Great idea!

  2. I can't wait to try this recipe. My love affair with peanut buter and chocolate began with Reeses's Peanut Butter cups. Yum
