Title: Black Velvet Cake
Categories: Cake Dessert
Yield: 6 Servings

2	c	Almonds - slivered, slightly toasted
12	oz	Chocolate chips
1		Devil's food cake mix
1	pk	Chocolate pudding - instant, 3-1/2 oz. package
4		Eggs
1	c	Sour cream
1/2	c	Water
1/4	c	Oil
1	ts	Vanilla
1	ts	Almond extract
1/4	ts	Cinnamon

*DIRECTIONS*

Sprinkle 1/2 cup almonds on bottom of greased 10-inch tube pan. Set aside rest of almonds and chocolate chips. Place remaining ingredients in mixer bowl. Beat 4 minutes. Fold in chips and almonds, then pour into pan. Bake in 350 F oven 60 to 70 minutes. Cool 15 minutes and remove from pan. Serve with topping of whipped cream if desired.

Note from me: A nice touch would be to puncture finished cake with long-tined fork. Dribble over cake about 1/4 cup Kahlua. Then serve with sweetened whipped cream flavored with almond or vanilla extract.
