Steps:
- Heat oven to 350°F. Grease 2 (6-cup) mini fluted tube cake pans with shortening; lightly sprinkle with cocoa. In medium bowl, mix flour, baking soda and salt; set aside. In another medium bowl, mix boiling water and 1/2 cup cocoa; stir in sour cream until well blended. Set aside.
- In large bowl, beat granulated sugar and butter with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla and 1 teaspoon almond extract. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until blended. On low speed, alternately add flour mixture and cocoa mixture, beating just until blended after each addition. Stir in miniature chocolate chips. Divide batter evenly among pans, filling each two-thirds full.
- Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Run knife around edges. Cool 15 minutes; remove from pans to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
- In small bowl, mix powdered sugar, whipping cream and 1/4 teaspoon almond extract until smooth. Drizzle glaze over cakes.
- In small resealable freezer plastic bag, place milk chocolate chips; seal bag. Microwave on High about 1 minute or until softened. Gently squeeze bag until chocolate is smooth; cut off tiny corner of bag. Squeeze bag to drizzle chocolate over cakes. Sprinkle with coconut, almonds and mini chocolate chips.
