 ROOKMAE Apr. 7, 2006 Today is my son's birthday and this is the third year he has requested this cake. I mix the cake according to the directions and it comes out moist and fudgy. The almond extract really compliments the cherry filling. I make this in two 9 inch round cake pans and bake them for 35 minutes.Instead of the glaze I frosted it with chocolate icing. I topped the cake with about 1 cup of additional cherry pie filling and used white icing piped around the edge to keep it from running over the sides. It looks gorgeous when finished. Everyone thinks it's from a bakery. Thanks for such a great recipe!

MARIA Nov. 2, 2004 I made this cake in a bundt pan and drizzled cherry pie filling on top of the chocolate glaze. It was wonderful!

 This is so cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay, I hesitated giving this five stars because I didn't really make this. I had every intention of making it. I went to my cupboard (like old Mother Hubbard) and all I had was a caramel cake mix and apple pie filling. Another recipe was born. I followed the same premise using caramel cake mix, white chocolate chips and apple pie filling (I chopped the apples finer). Instead of the almond extract, I used 1.5 tsps of butter flavoring and 1.5 tsps of rum extract. I heated some caramel frosting and used that for a glaze. It was a major hit and the entire cake is gone. My brother's best friend said it's the best cake he's ever eaten. I can't wait to try it the "right" way. Was this review helpful?

Divine and easy. Hubby gave 5 stars and he is hard to please. I used Pillsbury moist supreme devil. I added 1/2 c oil & 1/2 c water. I also placed batter in 2 greased 9 inch cake pans baked 30-35 minutes. I cooled the cakes and in between the layers I put chocolate icing then covered the entire cake with it. So good!! Icing simple: 4 & 1/2 c confec. sugar, 1/2 cup milk, 1 c soft butter, 1 & 1/4 c cocoa, 1/2 tsp vanilla and 1/2 tsp almond extract. Beat butter, then add rest and beat....so good and like I said easy Was this review helpful? [ YES ] 5 users found this review helpful Divine and easy. Hubby gave 5 stars and he is hard to please.

 Amber Oct. 21, 2003 Made this one for an anniversary. Easy and really moist. I used vanilla extract instead of almond and spinkled walnut pieces on the chocolate glaze while it was still warm.

Linda Nov. 29, 2006 I made this cake for a pot luck dinner. At the end, it was the only one completely gone!! It was very moist and easy to make. I used a bundt pan because I like the way it looks. I decorated it like Donna's. Next time, I will make the glaze a little thinner, so it will run down the sides. My glaze was more like a thin frosting. This is a must for chocolate lovers. I used Reddi Whip in the can, and it was delicious! One man even went back to get seconds (the last piece)!! Thank you for sharing.

Greta the Great Mar. 7, 2005 This is hands down a great recipe! We have used it for 4 years for our church dinner theater and I just pass the recipes out to the cake bakers and the all 25 cakes come back perfect! It's almost fool proof! We wanted to change our dessert this year, but with 4 of use looking couldn't find a better recipe! It tastes great, is so easy, and when put on a plate drizzled with chocolate sauce, whipped cream, a cherry and a wedge of chocoate, it looks and tastes like heaven. If you're looking for an easy recipe, but still want it to be something special- look no further! We do mix the mix according to its directions (including the oil), then add all the goodies, rather than just using eggs.

I made this cake twice in a weekend for birthday's and it was a hit! I made the cake as directed but instead of the chocolate topping I put real whip cream and mixed it with mini chcoclate chips. This cake came out very moist and very tasty.
