Nostalgia through food? Why not? Several years ago as a newcomer to Los Angeles, I attempted to recreate the community around food I became used on the east coast. I began making friends through my cooking, meeting new people to share in the eats as I baked my way to the relationships I have today. This particular Coffee Cake with Mini Chocolate Chips is how was introduced to one of my first group of friends, and quickly became the most requested dish. Vary it up by serving it in muffin tins, by adding crumble or fruit…or just stick with the chocolate chips. New and old friends alike continue to favor its flavor: within 8 hours of baking it this time around, all of its slices had been claimed!
