1 pkg. white cake mix
2 (16 oz.) cans tart red cherries (with juice)
1 c. sugar
3/4 tsp. almond extract
1 tsp. red food coloring
2 tbsp. melted butter
2 tbsp. cornstarch

Prepare white cake mix according to directions and pour into greased and floured 13 x 9 x 2 inch pan or shallow 3 quart casserole pan. Mix together remaining ingredients and pour (or spoon) evenly over cake batter. Bake 50-60 minutes at 350 degrees. Top with Cool Whip or anything you like. Note: I use the cherry juice to dissolve the cornstarch in.
