For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of almond extract to the batter. To prevent the chocolate chips from sinking to the bottom of the cake, toss them with a tablespoon of flour before adding them to the batter. If you don't have walnuts on hand, pecans or almonds make great substitutes. Be sure to use a high-quality cherry pie filling for the best flavor and texture. Allow the cake to cool completely before dusting with confectioners' sugar to prevent it from melting.
