This cake was moist and had a great taste! My dad is a chocolate covered cherry fan and I made this for his birthday. He loved it! I don't really care for a pronounced almond taste in this cake. I reduced the almond extract to 1/2 teaspoon and I could still taste it just fine! Hope this helps!

I made this and it was really easy to make and really yummy to eat. I made it into muffins though. I didn't make or use the icing, I left them plain Next time I am thinking of trying this recipe using a butter pecan cake mix and apple pie filling.

OK - we were FIGHTING over this cake. I served it to at a small dinner with friends and my family fought over the leftovers for the rest of the week (actually it didnt last that long). It is soo good and yet so stupidly easy! The frosting is wonderful - I've made it since - I put it on brownies, but it belongs on this cake - no comparison.

My review was completely changed without any warning, so I'll just make it short and say that this recipe, as is, is very disappointing. Make the changes suggested by past reviewers and it'll come out a lot better. Made as directed it just tastes like chocolate cake.

LOVED IT! This one will definitely stay in my recipe box. Having said that I don't like cake mixes but I like this recipe. I suggest to anyone trying this for the first time that you don't change a thing. I used Duncan Hines Devils food cake mix as suggested. this cake comes together so quickly and easily which is icing on the cake so to speak.

I loved the frosting. The cake was good, not my absolute favorite, but good. I love how easy it is to whip up. I think I'd add a little less almond next time, I found that flavor a little too overwhelming. I wonder if this recipe would work with other flavors of cake and pie fillings? Might be worth a try...

I've made this cake a few times and it is WONDERFUL! I put a little rum extract in the cake and when I make the frosting I use a little more rum extract and some vanilla extract (about 1/2 tsp each). Be careful when serving to men-it goes VERY quickly!
