- 1 box devil’s food cake mix
- 1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp almond extract
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips (for ganache)
- Cherries (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13-inch baking pan.

- Pour the ganache over the cooled cake and spread evenly.

Notes
