Then, using a non-stick cooking spray, grease a 9x13 inch pan.

Afterward, combine all the wet ingredients like; eggs, oil, water, maraschino cherry juice, and almond extract with an electric mixer in a large mixing bowl.

Then, add the cake mix to the wet ingredients.

Afterward, fold in the chopped maraschino cherries in the mixture.

Then, pour the cherry cake batter into the non-stick baking pan.

Next, ensure to bake the cake in the oven for about thirty minutes until it cooks thoroughly. After that, insert a toothpick in the middle of the cake to check if the cake is okay. If it comes out clean when removed from the center of the cake, it means the cake is ready.

Then, take the maraschino cherry cake out of the oven and allow it to cool completely before frosting.

Before anything else, blend and combine the softened cream cheese and butter in a large bowl.

Then, gradually add the powdered sugar setting the mixer to low to avoid the sugar from flying everywhere.

After that, put the almond extract and maraschino cherry juice into the mixture. Then, mix till you can achieve a smooth consistency.
