This is the BEST coffee cake you will ever taste!

It is made with a secret ingredient that makes the cake mix extra fluffy...sour cream! When you combine the fluffy cake mix with the chocolate chips, walnuts, cinnamon and sugar topping...you are in coffee cake heaven!!

I just finished making some for my oldest...she requested it. She's a little under the weather and this is her favorite. (Although I think this is everyone's favorite in this house.) Plus we are expecting 10 inches of snow between tonight and tomorrow. Snow in Spring is no fun. However, there's something about baking while there's a snow storm outside. Makes the house seem a little cozier.
