Sour Cream Coffee Cake with Chocolate

This was an early morning inspiration. The baby and husband were still sleeping and I had the house to myself. I really do enjoy these types of mornings. I am able to plow through the housework in less than an hour, clean... no edit that... SCRUB! the kitchen from top to bottom and still have time to make a morning goody.. only after of course the pot of coffee has started brewing.

This is absolutely delicious if you have a sweet tooth and like chocolate in the morning. I can definitely check both of those boxes for myself. It has a light cake center texture with a nice outer crust. I got to use my brand new bundt pan you see :-)
