Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate or semisweet chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate chips.
  • If you don't have sour cream, you can substitute plain Greek yogurt or buttermilk.
  • To make the glaze, you can use either powdered sugar or granulated sugar. If you use powdered sugar, the glaze will be thicker and more opaque. If you use granulated sugar, the glaze will be thinner and more transparent.
  • To make the coffee cake ahead of time, prepare the batter and glaze as directed. Cover the batter and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. When ready to bake, preheat the oven and bake the coffee cake according to the recipe instructions. Once the coffee cake is cooled, glaze it and serve.
  • To store the coffee cake, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and store it at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
