My rating:

This is my Red Velvet version of the famous Better Than Sex Cake. I am so pleased with how it turned out; it's delicious! If you like chocolate, cherries, and almonds, you'll love this. Please also look at my recipes for the Cherry-Chocolate, Dreamsicle, Pineapple-Coconut, and Lemon versions of this cake!

1 box moist Red Velvet cake mix
10-oz Diet 7-Up or Sprite
1 egg white
1 (20-oz) can of lite cherry pie filling
1 (8-oz) container fat-free cool whip
1/2 tsp almond extract

Directions:

Mix cherry pie filling with almond extract and pour mixture over warm cake, filling in the holes. Cool completely. Cover cake with cool whip. Put in fridge until ready to serve.
