Mix the cocoa powder, instant espresso powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl with a whisk

Melt the butter and mix it with the sugar in another bowl until the mixture is light and fluffy

Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ones, mixing them in with the sour cream every so often

Start with the dry ingredients and end with the wet ones

Don't mix any further than that

The chopped pecans and semisweet chocolate chips should be carefully mixed in

Spread out the batter in the baking pan that has been prepared

Set aside 2 tablespoons of cold butter and 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour

In a bowl, mix together 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, 1/4 cup of chopped pecans, and 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour

Mix with a fork or your hands until it's crumbly

The streusel should be put on top of the cake batter

After the oven is hot, bake it for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick stuck in the middle comes out clean

Mix 1/2 cup of powdered sugar with 1-2 tablespoons of milk until you get the consistency you want for the vanilla glaze while the cake cools

Pour the vanilla glaze over the coffee cake that has already cooled
