It is very tasty when it's warm. There are MANY steps but they can be done in small snatches of time. I used about 1/4 C less sugar and it was still good.
Topping: added the 2 Tbsp flour to the topping. It easier to mix the butter, flour, and sugar BEFORE adding the chocolate and nuts to the topping. The topping MAKES the cake!
Also, it would be better to remove 2 C of batter and set aside, then add the chocolate/coffee to the batter in the bowl.
Actually very do-able even for someone who can be a little kitchen-challenged & DELICIOUS!!!
Already added to my file of recipes in the kitchen!
My family loves this for breakfast and also for snack. I make this all the time.

I made this cake for my wedding anniversary breakfast, my husband loved it!
I MADE THIS CAKE FOR MY HUSBANDS BIRTHDAY, HE LOVES ANYTHING WITH CHOCOLATE.EVERY ONE THOUGHT IT WAS STORE BOUGHT, BECAUSE IT WAS SO TASTY AND MOIST. WHEN I TOLD THEM I MADE IT, THEY WANTED THE RECIPE.
Nice cake but second time I made it I changed a few things. I left out the nuts and decreased the coffee granules since I found it too coffee tasting.
This was by far one of the best coffee cakes I've made and eaten. It was great for the big crowd we had for dessert and I ended up printing out quite a few recipes. The one substitution I made was swapping out the hazelnuts for pecans. Another great recipe to add to my collection.
the whole preparation for the batter was quite time-consuming and complicating for me, but it was an intermediate level recipe after all.i lessen the sugar just a bit cos i was afraid it might be too sweet.the cake came out nice and moist,just the right sweetnees.However, i didn't get the marbled effect i expected cos i think i swirled it too much, causing it to get stirred quite evenly.i would consider attempting the recipe again:D
The coffee cake was so good and moist. The sour cream just makes it delightful.
I made this recipe into cupcakes for quick on the go mornings. It took a little extra time, but the swirl turned out ok and the flavor was fantastic! Will make the cake next time, 1 cup cake is NOT enough.
This was just the right cake to bring to a breakfast meeting-It tasted great with the touch of Mocha.
Delicious!! its was moist and loved the coffee flavor. It was very different and enjoyable for coffee time. thx.
I made these coffee cakes for church today. With our large group, I usually bake 2 or 3 items. I was very pleased with the results. As with all my recipes, I cut the sugar, and use SPLENDA Brown Sugar. I also made the mocha swirl a little richer, using butter, and more coffee. My husband loves coffee and chocolate, so this is a keeper for sure.
THIS CAKE WAS ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!!! MAKE IT FOR SOME OF MY FRIENDS WHO CAME OVER.... REALLY TASTY.... GAVE THEM THE RECIPE....
I made this recipe and took it to work. Everyone gave it rave reviews. The only variation I did was that I changed the hazelnuts to almonds. This recipe is definitely worth the work and is a real keeper!!!

I really liked this coffee cake. Hubby not much on chocolate, but that's his problem, everyone else liked it!
One of the librarians made this for a meeting she was having. I just happened to come in the room when this was being served and I thought it was awesome! I immediately asked for the recipe.
this cake was too sweet.I cut the sugar by 3/4 cup.It is time consuming,and will probably make it once a year.Topping was good!
