This cake is probably the best cake I have ever put into my mouth.
In 1970, new neighbors moved in to the neighborhood, two houses from me.
They had kids!
One girl my age and a younger brother!
Cast of Ingredients for Chocolate Chip Coffee Cake
Terri’s mother was known for her Chocolate Chip Cakes.
I had my first taste when I was 10 years old.
When I was 13 years old, Terri’s mom, gave me her recipe.
I’ve baked this Chocolate Chip Cake, ever since.
I used to work for a law firm in Beverly Hills and we did monthly birthdays.
This cake was the most requested.
People could not believe that I baked it myself and thought it was purchased from the finest bakery.
These days, that would not be such a compliment as I’m not really that fond of bakeries anymore, as they no longer seem to use quality ingredients.
I believe in always using the best quality ingredients that you can afford. Use a Springform Pan with Hole for this recipe.
The topping is so good, I could eat it with a spoon. I usually make double the amount of topping needed, because I love it so much.
