Cake for breakfast is an important part of my day.
Many mornings it actually saves my sanity.
I mean, I know everyone is drinking those green juice things, and while I drink those too, on occasion, I really have found that cake in the morning is better for my health.
Especially chocolate cake with peanut butter cups.
And when you call a cake “coffee cake”, it’s perfectly acceptable to enjoy pre-10am.
The universe says so. I mean, I didn’t invent coffee cake. I just follow along with the masses.
And another thing…
Make it.
Peanut Butter Cup Chocolate Coffee Cake.
The cake is super yummy, starting with a whopping 2 cups of sour cream in the batter…
And also you use Devil’s Food Cake mix and pudding.
There is no way that this could be bad.
The batter is ridiculous. Stupid good.
After you sample a respectable amount of the batter, spread what’s left into a 9×13…
Bake it up.
Don’t forget about your peanut butter cups. Like that’s possible.
And when the cake is baked, sprinkle those on top of the cake…
Then, to make it extra pretty, melt some white chocolate and drizzle that all over the toppity top.
Yes.
Please.
Thankyouverymuch.
Also, eating with a mini fork is bound to enhance your coffee cake experience.

Notes
I melted my white chocolate chips in a ziplock bag in the microwave and snipped off the end and squeezed the white chocolate on my cake. Makes for easy clean up!
This cake is even better the next day.
not believing it. it looks like a dressed up brownie. get back to me when you have a peanut butter cup chocolate coffee cake.
ummm…ok?
Oh yeah, this would definitely start the day off better!
yes please! I love any kind of coffee cake! Great twist
Oh my these look delicious!! 🙂
By sample a “respectable amount of batter” do you mean a full cup? What? The batter is the best part. Raw egg, shmaw egg.
Do they make peanut butter pudding? If so I would like to try that mixed in here.
I was planning on eating healthy this week…until I saw your cake:)
This looks great, but in the Netherlands where I live we have nothing that resembles those peanutbutter cups that go on top 🙁
You could easily omit the peanut butter cups, and sprinkle with more chocolate chips and drizzle with peanut butter. Just heat the peanut butter up a bit and drizzle that with the white chocolate. I bet that would look pretty and taste great!
Love this!! I need this now!!
You are a genius. I think if people had candy and cake for breakfast there would be a lot less grouchy people in the world. Amen.
