Mix cake mix,eggs & almond extract in large mixing bowl.Blend with an electric mixer on low speed 1 minute.Stop the mixer,scrape down sides of bowl.Add the cherry pie filling,increase the mixer speed to medium & beat 2 minutes more,scraping down the sides of the bowl again if needed.The batter should look thick & well blended with cherry pieces throughout.Pour the batter into the prepared pan,smoothing the top.Place pan in oven.
Bake cake til it springs back when lightly pressed with your finger & starts pulling away from sides of pan about 30-35 minutes.Remove pan from oven & place on a cooling rack while you prepare the glaze.
