Has anyone made Meryl's Cinnamon Chocolate Chunk Coffee Cake. Please tell me it sucked.

Put foil helmet.on prior to clicking on post!

I've made it and it's delicious.

How could you doubt the chocolate queen? smileys/wink.gif

 
Just put the rest in the freezer. My gym closed down yesterday, dh is sick, we had

MORE SNOW this morning and I'm afraid I'll sit on my butt and eat the rest if I don't freeze it!

 
I can't believe you're still having snow! Good move to freeze the cake -

sounds like I'll have to make this in the near future!
Tell Mike I hope he feels better soon.
I'm getting ready to go to the dentist and get my upteenth crown - Ugh. Wish me luck.

 
I just made this, and tasted it right out of the oven. Liked it - didn't love it. Maybe it will

taste better once it cools off a little.
I much prefer the Chocolate Swirl Sour Cream Coffee Cake from Godiva.

 
I tasted it again after it was completely cooled, plus I dusted the top with confectioner's sugar,

and I liked it a lot more. My husband loved it. (I made a halved version in an 8x8 pan, and used a touch more brown sugar in the topping).
I still prefer the Godiva recipe as I mentioned above, which is superb, but this was really good.

 
I made this yesterday also and liked it...didn't love it. I think it

needs to be just a bit sweeter to counter the bittersweet chocolate.

 
Exactly what I thought! It definitely wasn't sweet enough, & this is coming from someone who doesn't

like things too sweet and almost always reduces the sugar in recipes! I think semi-sweet chocolate would have worked out better, plus a little more sugar. I added a touch more brown sugar in the topping, and it still wasn't quite enough. I rarely top cakes with powdered sugar, but this definitely needed it, and it helped a lot. I assume the glaze would have helped also, but I'm really not a glaze person - I usually find them too sweet.

If you want an outstanding recipe, let me know, and I'll post one of my favorites: CHOCOLATE SWIRL SOUR CREAM COFFEE CAKE from Godiva.

 
I made it again last night, and it's fantastic as usual!

(This time I didn't increase the brown sugar and cinnamon).
