Last week, while I was at Ross I found a Nordic Ware Coffee Cake Pan on sale for $5.99. It was normally over $15, so I went ahead and picked it up.
It's cute and yellow and gets me thinking about Spring! So, then I need to make something in it - to test it out.
This week, I got on allrecipes.com and found a recipe for a Chocolate Chip Coffee Cake and thought I would make it and take it to work with me.
Here is the recipe:
1 cup butter, softened
8 ounces of cream cheese, softened
1½ cups of sugar, divided
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups of all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ cup of milk
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
¼ cup chopped pecans (optional)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, cream cheese and 1¼ cups of sugar. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking poweer, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with milk. Stir in the chocolate chips. Pour into a springform or coffee cake pan. Combine the pecans (optional), cinnamon and remaining sugar and sprinkle over the batter.
Bake at 350 degrees for 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 15 minutes and then remove from pan. Cool completely before cutting.
Enjoy!

What's the difference between a coffee cake pan and a bundt pan? Do I have to have a special pan to make this recipe?
