Valentine's day makes me think of chocolate but it doesn't need to be just candy. This torte is a fairly simple to make but impressive looking dessert. It would make a nice Valentine's day dessert. I have seen this recipe in a Duncan Hines recipe booklet but I found it again in Chocolate Lover's Collection. This a little stand up easel type book and boy does it have a lot of yummy sounding recipes.
Chocolate Cherry Torte
1 package Duncan Hines Devil's Food Cake Mix
1 can (21 oz.) cherry pie filling
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1 container (8 oz.) frozen whipped topping, thawed and divided
1/4 cup toasted sliced almonds, for garnish
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
Prepare, bake and cool cake following package directions for basic recipe. Combine cherry pie filling and almond extract in small bowl. Stir until blended. To assemble, place one cake layer on serving plate. Spread with 1 cup whipped topping, then half the cherry pie filling. Top with second cake layer. Spread remaining pie filling to within 1 1/2 inches of cake edge. Decorate cake edge with remaining whipped topping. Garnish with sliced almonds
