1 Devils Food cake mix
1 (3 1/2 oz.) pkg. instant chocolate pudding
4 eggs
1/2 c. water
1/2 c. salad oil
1 pt. sour cream
12 oz. chocolate chips
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. almond extract
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
(Opt.: 2 c. slivered almonds)

Beat all ingredients together for 4 minutes. Stir in 12 ounces chocolate chips. Pour into greased bundt pan or 10 inch tube pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 50 to 60 minutes.

(VARIATION: Sprinkle 1/2 cup slightly toasted slivered almonds on bottom of pan and fold remaining almonds into batter.) Serve with whipped cream, if desired. This is our family's favorite cake for birthdays and special occasions. We love chocolate!
