Quick Chocolate Cherry Cake: Too Sweet or Just Right?

In summary, the Quick Chocolate Cherry Cake is made with a box of chocolate cake mix, cherry pie filling, almond extract, and eggs. You can use any flavor of cake mix, but the chocolate pairs well with the other ingredients. The sweetness level can be adjusted by using less filling or adding more cake mix. The baking time is approximately 35-40 minutes and additional toppings or decorations can be added for personal preference.

Has anyone tried the Quick Chocolate Cherry cake(all the best) in the microwave with the scoops of icing put on top before baking? Or would the icing just be overkill? Is it too much? I can't eat chocolate so I have no idea how it would taste...??? TIA

I am making that tonight at my show! But I am not adding the icing. After the cake is cooled I am melting chocolate and drizzling it over the cake and then sprinkling nuts over that and grating chocolate over with the microplane. This shows a lot more products.

I do put the scoops of icing in the rice cooker when I do a cake in it but never in the fluted pan. It's a big WOW effect to see how simple the garnishing is and how good it looks!
 
I have made it with the icing and it is really good. It is not overkill because the icing is really just a glaze. After the cake cools I add some powdered sugar and I grate chocolate over the top in the microplane as well.
