Sour Cream Chocolate Chip Coffee Cake

Playing a little catch up here.  We have been very busy bees.  Tons of holiday festivities and traveling and packing and unpacking and smiles and full stomachs. 


This was a little Christmas baking we did.  Sour Cream Chocolate Chip Coffee Cakes for some dear friends of ours.  I made them in little portable square casserole dishes for ease of transport, but just used the same recipe as below and split it. 
I found this originally at The Kitchenarian.  Is that not the best blog name ever? 
We love our coffee around here so why not something sweet to go along with it, and I love anything to requires me to use my mixer!  Hope our friends liked it just as much, and since they want the recipe I am thinking so:)
