Sour Cream-Chocolate Bit Cake

Sour Cream-Chocolate Bit Cake

This is one of my mom's recipes that I think lends itself well to Christmas morning because it is quick to assemble and makes a great holiday coffee cake with the cinnamon and the chocolate.
Plan Ahead Note: the butter needs to be softened to room temperature.
