Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 box devil's food cake mix
1 can(s) (21-oz. ) cherry pie filling
1 tsp almond extract
2 eggs
FROSTING
1 c sugar
7 Tbsp butter
1/3 c whole milk
1 pkg (12-oz.) semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 tsp vanilla
8 oz carton of cool whip

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9 x 13 pan with non-stick baking spray containing flour and set aside.
  • 2. In a large bowl, combine cake mix, cherry pie filling, almond extract, and eggs. Beat until well mixed, then beat 1 minute at medium speed. Pour into prepared pan. Baje 35 - 40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • 3. When cake is almost finished baking, make the frosting: Combine sugar, butter and milk in large saucepan. Bring to a boil, then boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and add chocolate chips and vanilla. Stir with a wire whisk until the chips are melted and frosting is smooth. Pour over WARM cake and spread to cover. Let cool on a wire rack. Cut into 15 or 20 pieces. Before serving, top each piece with a dollop of Cool Whip. If you have that 2nd can of pie filling, place a couple cherries with a bit of juice in the center of the Cool Whip.
