1 cup cherry juice, from thawed cherries

1 1/2 cups water

Thaw cherries thoroughly reserving juice.  Once drained place cherries in separate bowl and set aside.  Remove cake from container and cut into 1/2 " or 3/4" thick slices.  Place cake in bottom of an 8" by 8" glass dish, completely covering the bottom of the dish.  Set aside.  **Note--there will be a little cake left over.  Combine Splenda, cornstarch, and jello in a large saucepan.  Stir in cherry juice, water, karo syrup and almond extract.  Place on stove and bring to a rolling boil.  Cook, stirring often, until mixture thickens.  Pour mixture over cherries until just covered. Again, there sill be a little left over, about 1/2 cup or so.  Combine and spread cherries over cake.  Refrigerate until set and thoroughly COLD. Spread with cool whip just prior to serving.  Makes 9 servings @ 2 points each
