CREAM CHEESE STUFFED CHOCOLATE CHIP BANANA BREAD COFFEE CAKE

This deliciously moist Cream Cheese Stuffed Chocolate Chip Banana Bread Coffee Cake is a banana bread lover’s dream!  Actually, it is everyone’s dream because my husband was going crazy for this banana coffee cake, and he isn’t a banana bread type of guy.  It tastes like sweet banana bread with bursts of chocolate, slight crunch of walnuts with a mega creamy cheesecake-like layer of cream cheese all topped with Cinnamon Walnut Streusel and a kiss of Vanilla Glaze. 

It is basically one of my favorite Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream’s – Chunky Monkey – in cake form.  And I loooooove Chunky Monkey and now I loooooooove this cake!
