Instructions

Preheat oven and prepare cake mix according to package instructions; bake in a 9×13 inch pan.
Allow cake to cool for 10 minutes. Using the handle of a wooden spoon, poke holes all over the cake.
In a bowl, dissolve cherry gelatin in boiling water; pour evenly over the cake holes.
Refrigerate cake until gelatin is set, about 1 hour.
Spread cherry pie filling evenly over the gelatin layer.
Top with whipped topping and sprinkle toasted sliced almonds over the top.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow flavors to meld.

Notes

For an extra almond flavor, add a teaspoon of almond extract to the cake batter before baking.
