Notes

Tips

✘ Use room temperature ingredients. Room temperature ingredients combine together easier and make the batter light and fluffy.
✘ Coat the chocolate chips in a tablespoon of flour so they don’t all sink to the bottom.
✘ Use fresh baking powder.  Check the date on your baking powder, fresh baking powder will give you a better rise.
✘ Drizzle with frosting ahead of time and let it sit for 15 minutes to let the icing harden and stay put when you slice the coffee cake.
