Mocha-Cinnamon Coffee Cake

• 3/4 cup chopped walnuts
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon baking cocoa
• 1 teaspoon instant coffee granules
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 3/4 cup butter, softened
• 1-1/2 cups sugar
• 4 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1-1/2 cups sour cream
• 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• Confectioners' sugar, optional

1. In a small bowl, combine the first five ingredients; set aside. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Combine the flour, baking powder and baking soda; add to creamed mixture alternately with sour cream just until combined. Stir in chocolate chips.
2. Pour a third of the batter into a greased 10-in. fluted tube pan. Sprinkle with half of the walnut mixture; repeat layers. Top with remaining batter.
3. Bake at 350u0b0 for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack. Dust with confectioners' sugar if desired.
