Ingredients

Directions

  1. Generously grease a 10-inch tube pan and set aside.
  2. Combine milk and butter in a saucepan; heat over medium heat until warm (about 110ðF), but not hot.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together sugar, salt, yeast, and 1 cup of the flour.
  4. Pour the warm milk and butter mixture into the dry ingredients and stir to combine.
  5. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally.
  6. Add 1 cup of flour and the eggs to the batter.
  7. Beat on high speed for 2 minutes, scraping the bowl occasionally to ensure even mixing.
  8. Stir in the remaining 1 1/2 cups of flour and the chocolate chips until just combined.
  9. Turn the dough into the prepared tube pan.
  10. Prepare the topping: In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup flour, 1/2 cup sugar, and 1/2 cup softened butter.
  11. Rub the butter into the flour and sugar with your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  12. Stir in chopped walnuts (if using), 1/3 cup chocolate chips, 1 tsp instant coffee powder, and 1 tsp vanilla extract.
  13. Sprinkle the coffee topping evenly over the dough in the pan.
  14. Cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap or a damp cloth.
  15. Let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size, approximately 1 hour.
  16. Preheat oven to 400ðF (200ðC).
  17. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  18. Immediately turn the cake out of the pan onto a wire rack to cool slightly before serving.
