  • In a small bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
  • Add the cold butter cubes and use a pastry cutter or your hands to work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture forms a crumbly texture.
  • Stir in the chopped nuts, if using. Set the streusel mixture aside.

2. Make the Cake:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a 9-inch round or square cake pan.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, vanilla extract, sour cream, melted butter, and cooled coffee until smooth and well combined.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  • Gently fold in the chocolate chips, if using, for an extra chocolatey bite.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, spreading it out evenly.

3. Add the Streusel:

  • Sprinkle the streusel topping evenly over the top of the cake batter. Don’t press it down; let it sit lightly on top.

4. Bake the Cake:

  • Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean (or with just a few moist crumbs).
  • Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

5. Make the Chocolate Drizzle:

  • In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it starts to simmer.
  • Remove from heat and stir in the semisweet chocolate chips until smooth and glossy.
  • Let the chocolate drizzle cool slightly before using.

6. Drizzle and Serve:

  • Once the cake is completely cooled, drizzle the chocolate sauce over the top in a decorative pattern.
  • Slice and serve the cake with a cup of coffee, and enjoy the rich, chocolatey, and coffee-infused goodness!

This Chocolate Coffee Cake is perfect for chocolate and coffee lovers alike, with its moist, flavorful base, crunchy streusel topping, and a decadent chocolate drizzle. It’s a delightful treat for breakfast, brunch, or dessert! 🍫☕🍰
