Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or a 10-inch Bundt pan.
Step 2
Make the cake: Stir cake mix, pie filling, chocolate chips, eggs, and almond extract together in a mixing bowl until just combined. Pour batter into the prepared pan.
Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes for a 9x13-inch cake, or 55 to 60 minutes for a Bundt cake. Remove from the oven and let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
Step 4
Meanwhile, make the glaze: Heat chocolate chips, milk, and butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until chocolate melts and mixture is well combined. Stir in confectioners' sugar.
Step 5
Spread glaze over cooled cake.
