Number Of Ingredients 19

2 c sugar
1 c cooking oil
2 eggs
3 c flour
3/4 c chocolate, unsweetened
2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 c hot coffee or water
1 c buttermilk or sour milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 c chopped walnuts
filling
1 pkg 8oz cream cheese
1/4 c sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 egg
1/2 c flaked coconut
1 c 6oz pk. semi-sweet or milk choc. pieces

Steps:

1. Generously grease and lightly flour a 10" bundt pan. Prepare filling and set aside. In a large mixing bowl combine sugar, oil and eggs; beat one min. at high speed. Add remaining ingred. except filling and nuts. Beat 3 min.at medium speed, scraping bowl occasionally . stir in nuts by hand. Pour 1/2 batter into prepared pan. Carefully spoon prepared filling over batter, top with remaining batter and bake 45-55 min. until top springs back when lightly touched in center. I have added a picture of a box of dry buttermilk mix I use, 1 packet=1 cup ~ saves buying a quart. It tastes the same too.
2. Filling: In small bowl beat cream cheese, sugar, vanilla and egg until smooth, then stir in choc. chips and coconut.
