For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of almond extract to the cherry pie filling.
Feel free to substitute the chocolate cake mix with your favorite flavor, such as yellow or vanilla.
Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an irresistible treat.
