This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.

1 package (18.25 ounce size) Devil's food cake mix
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 1/2 cup water
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 large eggs
1 cup semisweet mini morsels, divided
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
2 tablespoons milk, more if needed
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon shortening
2 tablespoons sliced almonds, toasted
Combine first 5 ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Beat at medium speed with an electric mixer 2 minutes. Stir in 1/2 cup chocolate morsels. Pour batter into a greased and floured 12-cup Bundt pan.
Bake at 350 degrees F for 33 to 35 minutes or until cake springs back when lightly touched. Cool in pan on wire rack 10 minutes; remove cake from pan, and cool completely on wire rack.
Cook butter, brown sugar and 2 tablespoons milk in a heavy saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until sugar is melted. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla.
Gradually stir in powdered sugar; if glaze seems thick, add remaining 1 tablespoon milk, stirring to desired consistency. Drizzle glaze over cooled cake.
Microwave remaining 1/2 cup chocolate morsels and shortening in a small microwave-safe bowl on HIGH for 30 seconds or until melted.
Pour melted chocolate into a small zip-top freezer bag. Snip 1 corner of bag, and drizzle over brown sugar glaze. Sprinkle almonds on cake.

Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.
A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

My family (and I) really loved this cake. I followed the recipe exactly and it came out perfectly moist and flavorful. But now I have a problem - I cannot find cake mixes in the 18.25 oz size anymore. The nearest I can find is 16.5 oz. How does this change the recipe. PLEASE ANSWER as this question applies to all the recipes in this category - cakes from cake mixes.
Unfortunately, in some cases the smaller cake mix size will make a difference. Many food products are "shrinking" and as a result, recipes may need to be adjusted.
