This cake is almost too pretty to eat! I absolutely love any thing with chocolate chips. I have been watching actress Lauren Graham since she was on the ’90’s sitcom, ”Caroline in The City!”
I’ve got family members who are obsessed with The Gilmore Girls and I’m going to bake this and bring it to their house the next time I see them.
My sister never missed the Gilmore Girls either. I only watched it sporadically. The cake sounds great. Thank you for the recipe.
This sounds like the best coffee cake recipe I’ve ever seen! And it sure looks good. I need to pick up some sour cream and make this!
I made the cake for my sister and told her to eat it when she was watching the reruns. She loved the cake and the reruns.
