Chocolate Cherry Cake with Fudge Icing

For Cake
1 box chocolate cake mix		1 can of cherry pie filling
2 eggs		1 teaspoon almond extract

For Icing
1 cup sugar		5 tablespoons butter, softened
1/3 cup of milk		1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (1 6 oz. pkg.)
Preheat oven to 350. Grease a 13x9 inch pan. In a large bowl, mix all cake ingredients and mix well. Pour into prepared pan and bake at 350 for 35 minutes. (until cake tests done - you should be able to peirce it with a sharp knife blade and the knife should come out clean) While the cake is baking: In a small saucepan put the sugar, milk and butter. Bring to a boila nd boil for 1 (one) minute. Then remove from heat and add the vanilla and chips. Wait 30 seconds and then stir very well. Pour over warm cake and let cool. (run a knife blade around the cake - it stays in the pan and is served from the pan- so that some of the icing has a chance to go down the sides a little bit.) This is a wonderful, fudgy, choco-cherry indulgence. Enjoy
