Simple Delicious Chocolate Sour Cream Pecan Coffee Cake

We love the combination of sour cream and chocolate. It adds a tartness and depth to the outstanding chocolate. We also added a secret ingredient to this one…flavored dry coffee creamer. It sounds weird, but it adds a delicious twist to this rich and moist cake. Allow the cake to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and removing from the pan. Slice in wedges and serve with your favorite hot coffee or tea. It is best served in the company of people whom you adore!
