Mix together: cake mix, beaten eggs, almond extract, cherry pie filling and 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips. Stir until just combined. Pour batter into a greased 9x13 inch pan. 
Bake in a 350 degree F (175 degree C) oven for 45 to 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove cake from oven and let cool.

  1. Oh wow. Sounds like the recipe I posted last year - I called it the "dessert most likely to sabotage my diet!" Except that one didn't have chocolate chips in it. Even better! I don't like cherries that much but I you can barely tell they are in there. They mostly just make the cake moist. YUM
