I can strongly recommend the Chocolate Cherry Skillet Cake. It's one of our favorites.
1 box devil's food cake mix (approx. 18 oz.)
3 eggs, separated
1/4 cup water
1 can cherry pie filling (21 oz.)
1/2 tsp. almond extract
1 jar hot fudge sauce/topping
1/3 cup sliced almonds, toasted (if desired)
Preheat oven to 350. Separate eggs over Classic Batter Bowl using Egg Separator; set yolks aside for another use. Lightly whisk egg whites. Add pie filling, water and almond extract; mix well. Add cake mix; mix until well blended using Classic Scraper. Lightly spray 12" Family Skillet with oil using Kitchen Spritzer. Pour batter over bottom of skillet and spread evenly.
Bake, uncovered, 25-30 minutes or until Cake Tester inserted in center comes out clean. Using Oven Mitts, carefully remove from oven to Stackable Cooling Rack; cool 10 minutes. Loosen edges of cake with Skinny Scraper. Carefully invert cake onto Round Platter or large, heat-safe serving plate. (I've even used a large round stone covered with Parchment Paper...)
Using Skinny Scraper, stir ice cream topping until smooth; carefully spread evenly over top of cake. Sprinkle almonds evenly around top edge of cake. Cut into wedges using Slice 'N Serve(R). Serve warm with frozen yogurt or whipped topping, if desired.
