Submitted by: Kristl

1 devil's food cake mix
1 box chocolate pudding
2 cups sour cream
1 cup melted butter
5 eggs
1 tsp. almond flavor
2 cups chocolate chips

Stir cake and pudding mixes together. Make a well and add sour cream, butter, eggs and almon. Beat until blended, scrape sides of bowl and beat at medium speed for 4 minutes. Add chocolate chips, mix. Pour into greased bundt pan, bake at 350 degrees for about 55 minutes. Let sit for 10 minutes and turn onto cooling rack.
