Not for me. Pretty dry..it was only good where the chocolate was swirled.

Kit - another huge winner in my cookbooks! I served this to members of our adult Bible class and it went over famously! I used the Heart Healthy Bisquick Mix and 1% Milk but those were the only changes! Nice coffee cake that is not heavy nor overly sweet - just a perfect blend of flavors with the butter, coffee and chocolate chips! Thanks dear friend for sharing yet another HIT with me in 123 Hits tag game!

This was very good! I used macadamia nuts and put cinnamon on top. The next time I will double the coffee/chocolate mixture.

Love this cake Kitten. So fast and easy to make. What a great butter taste, mixed with hints of chocolate and coffee. My dh doesn't eat nuts, so I subed with dairy milk chips, wow. I wish I could give you 6*'s. The cake is light and moist, not too sweet, has lovely height, texture and flavor.

I had some LF Bisquick that I needed to use up so I went looking for a great recipe... and I found one!! Very moist cake - not too sweet - just perfect for a coffee cake. My only changes, LF Bisquick and I used 1% milk. Brought the leftovers to work because I might eat the whole pan for breakfast!! Thanks Kittencal!
