1/4 cup sliced almonds
3 eggs
1 container (16 oz) sour cream
1 package (18.25 ounces) devil's food cake mix
1 cup miniature semi-sweet chocolate morsels, divided
2 teaspoons Korintje Cinnamon, divided
1 tablespoon sugar
1 container (8 oz) frozen whipped topping, thawed, divided

Directions

Brush Stoneware Fluted Pan with vegetable oil using Chef's Silicone Basting Brush. Chop almonds using Food Chopper. In Classic Batter Bowl, whisk eggs and sour cream until smooth using Stainless Whisk.
