Triple Chocolate Coffee Cake-One for you One for a friend

Need something special for a holiday breakfast or brunch event.  Try this Great Southern Living Triple Chocolate Coffee Cake.  Not only is it delicious but the recipe makes 2 square pans so you can give one away and enjoy one yourself.  Of course you can give both away!!

Another great thing about this recipe is that is uses a cake mix as the base.  I don't think anyone would even know!!

This time I made one in a regular square baking pan and the other in a disposable foil container.  The ones at Walmart were colored and came with the see thru lids.

The only adjustments for this recipe was I did not have sour cream on hand so I used greek yogurt.
Also the baking time was longer than suggested.


Tie the one you are giving away in a cute ribbon and you have the perfect gift that was baked with love.
