Recipe - Black Velvet Cake

2 cup Slivered almonds, slightly
Toasted
12 ounce Chocolate chips
1 pack Devil's food cake mix
3 One half ounce Pk inst choco pudding
4 Eggs
1 cup Sour cream
One half cup Water
One fourth cup Oil
1 teaspoon Vanilla
1 teaspoon Almond extract
One fourth teaspoon Cinnamon

Sprinkle One half cup almonds on bottom of greased 10inch 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
longtined fork. Dribble over cake about One fourth cup Kahlua. Then serve
with sweetened whipped cream flavored with almond or vanilla extract.
