Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Grease a 9x13 baking dish.

Dump 2 cans of cherry pie filling into the greased baking dish and spread it out evenly.

Add 1 tablespoon of freshly squeezed lemon juice and 1 teaspoon of almond extract to the cherry filling and mix them in.

Sprinkle 1 box of chocolate cake mix evenly over the cherry filling.

Add 1 teaspoon of instant coffee and 12 oz of semi-sweet chocolate chips to the cake mix layer.

Sprinkle a dash of salt over the cake mix layer.

Using a fork, gently drag it across the top to smooth out the cake mix without mixing it in.

Cut 2 sticks of cold butter into thin slices and lay them evenly on top of the cake mix, keeping the pieces about an eighth of an inch apart.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes until golden brown.
