 1 Canned lite cherry pie filling
 1/4 teaspoon of almond extract
 1 1/3 cup of sugar
 1/4 cup of vegetable oil
 1 (4-ounce) bar sweet chocolate
 4 Egg whites
 3 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
 1 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda
 1/4 teaspoon of salt
 1/3 cup of unsweetened cocoa
 1 2/3 cup of nonfat buttermilk
 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
 Vegetable cooking spray
 1 1/2 teaspoon of powdered sugar

Instructions:

Combine pie filling and almond extract; stir well, and set aside. Combine 1-1/3 cups sugar and oil in a large bowl, beating well at medium speed of an electric mixer. Add melted chocolate; beat well. Add egg whites; beat well. Combine flour and next 3 ingredients; add to sugar mixture alternately with buttermilk, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Mix well after each addition. Stir in vanilla. Reserve 2 cups of batter, and set aside. Pour remaining batter into 12-cup Bundt pan coated with cooking spray. Spoon pie filling mixture over center of batter to form a ring. Top with reserved batter. Bake at 350ºF. for 55 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan 10 minutes; remove from pan. Cool on a wire rack. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Yield: 16 servings (serving size: 1 slice). By all means use the vinegar or lemon juice method to make buttermilk. I was going to suggest it when I posted the recipe but forgot to. It should work just fine!
