* CHOCOLATE CHERRY CAKE I*

Category: Cakes from Cake Mixes

1 package devil's food cake mix or chocolate fudge cake mix
1 (21 ounce) can cherry pie filling
1 teaspoon almond extract
2 eggs
1 cup sugar
5 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup milk
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Heat oven to 350. Grease a 9 x 13 inch pan.

In a large bowl, combine cake mix, cherry pie filling, almond extract, and 2 eggs by hand; stir until well blended. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until it tests done. Cool.

In a small saucepan, combine sugar, butter or margarine, and milk. Boil, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in chocolate chips until almost smooth. Immediately pour over partially cooled cake.

NOTES: I often bring this, baked into bars. Bake in a 15x10 inch pan, about 20-30 minutes. I have also used a bundt pan and this cake came out great.
