Yesterday, we celebrated my daughter Lindsey's 18th birthday with this Chocolate Chip Cake.  Caroline, Caroline's very close friend Catherine DeVincenzi, and I baked the cake.  I got the recipe from my mother Carol Callaghan's recipe cards. It says on the card that the recipe came from my mother's good friend Mary Coughlin.

The cake was enjoyed by all!  Several family members felt that this cake could be served as a breakfast coffee cake.  It tasted very similar to a chocolate chip muffin.
