Directions:
1) Grease and flour or spray bottom and sides of 13x9-inch pan.
2) In a large bowl, beat cake mix, water, oil, vanilla & eggs with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, then on medium speed 6 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally.
3) Bake 29 to 35 minutes at 350º (325º for dark or nonstick pan) or until edges are golden brown and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Let stand 5 minutes. Poke top of hot cake every 1/2 inch with a long-tined fork or skewer, wiping occasionally to reduce sticking.

5) Combine cream cheese, sugar, vanilla & almond extract in a large bowl. Use whipping attachment (if available), mix on medium speed until smooth. While mixing, slowly pour in the whipping cream. Scraping the bottom of the bowl occasionally, continue mixing until the frosting forms stiff peaks. Frost cake.
