Really nice recipe. Easy and quick, cake texture with a nice mellow coffee flavor. The crust crisped up nicely and the choc chips didn't sink at all, just melted over the top. Yes its very sweet but I don't have a problem with that. Great with a coffee or warmed as a desert with some ice cream on the side. Many thanks !

This is a nice deviation from the normal coffee cake I usually make. I really like this a lot!

I wanted to use Starbucks Coffee Liqueur instead of coffee so I did and it had a great flavor but it was pretty strong. I think next time I will use 1/4 cup coffee and 1/4 cup of the liqueur. I will be making these again though, especially for company they are a great after dinner snack.

My whole family loved these! I will definitely make them again, just as directed.

simple, easy, and quite nice =) i like how the crust is a bit crispy on the outside and than sorta like a cake-like texture on the inside..best when it's warm :)
