BLACK FOREST TIARA CAKE

You will require a tiara pan to make this cake - they were sold by Duncan Hines several years ago.

DUNCAN HINES BLACK FOREST TIARA CAKE

1 Devil's food cake mix
1 greased tiara dessert pan, unfloured
3 eggs
1-1/3 cups water
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 tsp. almond extract
1 (8 oz.) container Cool Whip, thawed
1 can cherry pie filling

Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease tiara pan. In a mixing bowl, combine eggs, water, oil and cake mix. Blend on low speed until moistened. Mix at medium speed for 2 minutes. Place 3 cups batter into prepared tiara pan (there will be enough leftover batter to make nine cupcakes). Bake at 350° F. for 21-24 minutes, or until toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool on rack 5-10 minutes. Remove cake from pan by inverting cake onto cooling rack. Cool completely; place on a serving platter.
Prepare Mousse: In medium bowl, fold almond extract into whipped topping. Spread evenly into well of cooled cake. Refrigerate cake for 30 minutes.
Prepare topping: Spoon cherry pie filling on top of mousse. Leave an edge of mousse showing. Refrigerate for 2 hours.
