Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9 x 13 inch pan.

In a large bowl, combine the devil's food cake mix, cherry pie filling, almond extract, and 2 eggs by hand; stir until well blended. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool the cake in the pan.

In a small saucepan, combine the white sugar, butter, and milk. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, and boil for 2 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in the semisweet chocolate chips until smooth.

Immediately pour the chocolate mixture over the partially cooled cake. Allow the cake to cool completely before serving.
