Mom's Cherry Chocolate Cake

1 pkg plain devil's food cake mix

1 can 21 oz. cherry pie filling

2 large eggs

1 tsp. pure almond glaze

(mom and I like to throw a bunch of chocolate chips in the batter too. and a little almond extract)

Chocolate glaze

1 cup sugar

1/3 cup butter

1/3 cup whole milk

1 pkg 6 oz semisweet chocolate chips

(we add almond extract. VERY much better)

Mix up the cake stuff and beat very well. Add choco chips if desired. Cook in a 9X13 pan at 350 for 30-35 minutes. Let cool while you prepare the glaze.

Glaze: Stir and melt butter, sugar, and milk over med-low heat until it comes to a boil. Boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in choco chips until melted, pour over warm cake. Will be think but will set up on cake.
