Ingredients
Cake
- 1 box chocolate cake mix
- 1 can cherry pie filling
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon almond extract or vanilla extract
Glaze
- 5 Tablespoons butter or margarine
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 F.
- In a bowl combine the cake mix, eggs, extract and pie filling. Stir to mix thoroughly and get most of the lumps out.
- Spray a 13 x 9 inch baking pan with cooking spray. Pour the batter into the band and spread it to the edges.
- Bake in the 350 F oven for 25-30 minutes, until the a toothpick in the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Set the cake aside and make the glaze while the cake is still warm.
- For the glaze combine the sugar, milk and butter in a saucepan. Heat over medium heat until the butter and sugar melt. Bring to a boil and boil for 1 minute.
- Take the glaze off the heat and add the chocolate chips. Stir until the chocolate chip melts and the glaze becomes smooth.
- Pour the glaze over the still warm cake and use a spatula to spread it all over the top.
- Let the cake cool before cutting.

Notes
- If you like you can add more pie filling or chocolate chips to the top of the cake, although it is delicious without any extra toppings.
