Delicious recipes for red velvet cakes, cupcakes, and cheesecakes.


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.

Pizza night is always a favorite, especially when you have great tasting pizza from some of the most popular restaurants.
Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.

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.
