Chocolate Coconut Coffee Cake.

The four Cs.
I love all four. Equally.
This is a pretty basic coffee cake recipe, but its filled with a load of coconut and chocolate to make it a bit more indulgent. It goes great with coffee, or with tea as a bedtime snack.

Chocolate Coconut Coffee Cake:
1 cup chopped chocolate, or chocolate chips
1 cup coconut
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 Tablespoon sugar

Mix all ingredients and set aside

2 cups cake flour* (see note below)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter softened
1 cup sugar
1 cup sour cream
2 eggs
1 Tablespoon Vanilla
2 Tablespoons Milk

Preheat oven to 350degrees

Cream together butter and sugar, then add in eggs, vanilla, and sour cream, and milk until well blended. Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add to wet mixture and combine.

Pour half the mixture into a well greased bundt or angel food cake pan. Top with the chocolate coconut mixture. Pour remaining cake batter over the top, and drizzle with chocolate sauce for asthetic appeal. Bake for about 40 minutes, or until inserted toothpick comes out clean.

Cream together sugar, butter, eggs, vanilla, sour cream and milk.

The filling.

*No cake flour? Not a problem. Combine a scant cup of flour with 2 Tablespoons of corn starch for each cup of cake flour needed!

Add the filling on top of half the batter.

Then top with remaining batter and chocolate sauce.

Yummy.
