Ingredients
  

For The Cake:

  • 1 package devil's food cake mix (15.25 ounces)
  • 1 can cherry pie filling (21 ounces)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract

For The Frosting:

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 5 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate morsels

Instructions
 

To Make The Cake:

  • Preheat the oven to 350℉. Grease a 9x13-inch rectangular pan with cooking spray or line with baking paper, letting a little hang over the sides for easy removal.
  • Beat devil's food cake mix, cherry pie filling, eggs, and almond extract at low speed with electric mixer for 20 seconds. Increase speed to medium and beat for 1 minute.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 27 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
  • Cool cake in pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes.

To Frost The Cake:

  • Make frosting by bringing sugar, milk, and butter to a boil in a heavy 2-quart saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Boil for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in chocolate morsels until melted and smooth.
  • Quickly spread frosting over warm cake. Cool completely, about 1 hour, before slicing and serving.
