I found this on another cooking site last year, I made it for a party at my sister's. It is incredibly good and so easy to make. I didn't feel it kept well for more than a few days so plan to serve it to a large enough group so it is all gobbled up fast. I made the cake layers a day ahead and found they were very easy to slice.
Ingredients:
1 (18 ounce) package devil's food cake mix
1 (3 ounce) package instant chocolate pudding
3 large eggs
1 1/4 cups milk
1 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon vanilla

1 teaspoon almond extract
milk chocolate bar, about three 1 . 55-ounce bars, chopped
1 (24 1/3 ounce) container ready to eat cheesecake filling
1 (21 ounce) can cherry pie filling, divided

3. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pans 10 minutes, remove ro wire rack to cool completely. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for at least 1 hour and up to 24 hours.
