It’s Day14 (I can’t believe it!) which make it Bailey Bakes day. Following more beautiful pictures on Pinterest, I found Bailey’s sweet blog and so glad I did. Her photos are really something and the recipes will get your sweet tooth kicking. These recipes look extra good: Pumpkin Milano Cookies, Polka Dot Cheesecake Brownies, Chocolate Pound Cake Cookies, Reese’s Chocolate Shortbread Bars, Vanilla Crescent Cookies and Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Truffles. Wowza. That is a lot of sweetness. :) Here’s Homemade for the Holidays with Bailey.
Hi all! I’m Bailey from Bailey Bakes. I’m really excited to be here today to share one of my recipes with you for Amy’s wonderful series, Homemade for the Holidays. Today I’ll be sharing a Chocolate Chip Coffee Cake recipe with you.
I remember the first time I made coffee cake. It was probably the first dish I’d ever made by myself – i.e. without the help of my mother. It was for my seventh grade home ec. class. You know, the one where you learned how to sew and cook? The cooking part of the class was my favorite. We got to make a really tasty overnight coffee cake. From that point on, they’ve been one of my favorite breakfast choices and are perfect for the holidays.
The good thing about this coffee cake recipe is that it’ll be done in a jiffy. You don’t have to let it sit overnight. It only takes about an hour and a half, including prep and cook time. I was also able to find some extremely cute semi-sweet chocolate chips with red and green baking morsels from Nestle Tollhouse, which adds an extra Christmas touch to the dish!
I hope you all have a wonderful holiday! Enjoy!
