Fresh popcorn coated in white chocolate, cake mix and sprinkles makes an adorable, fun snack!
This is a great treat for a kids (or grownups) party, a school snack or just for fun.
The ingredients are easy to find in the bulk store or the baking aisle.
Here's what you need for this easy recipe:
I've enjoyed reading Deb Perelman's Smitten Kitchen blog for a while now. All the recipes are beautiful, doable and always turn out delicious. So when I had a container of sour cream leftover from Christmas and guests popping by our new house for coffee, I knew just where to look for a coffee cake recipe.
This Chocolate Chip Sour Cream Coffee Cake would use up all the sour cream, and I knew I had all the other ingredients on hand. Plus it uses cinnamon which is my favourite flavour in coffee cake.
This cake is incredibly easy and delicious. The eggs are separated and whipped whites are folded into the batter, making the cake puff up beautifully as it bakes.
Chocolate chips and cinnamon sugar are layered within the batter and strewn on top of the cake.
We were impatient and ate the cake warm from the oven, but it's even better once it's had a chance to cool and the chocolate chips form back into firm nuggets of chocolate. The flavour was even better the next day.

Make it and enjoy!
This is only very tangentially a tart. Icebox cake has a "crust" in the form of cookies and a "filling" in the form of whipped cream and fruit, so I'm calling it my tart of the month so I don't have to turn on the oven!
Icebox cake is actually really easy to make. A magic process takes place when you layer cookies with whipped cream. They take on a cake-like consistency as they moisten and become almost like solid cake when sliced.
