    begins to thicken. Add sugar and vanilla; beat until
    soft peaks form.

    To assemble, place 1 cake layer on a serving plate;
    spread with 1/3 cup chocolate filling and 1 cup whipped
    cream. Repeat layers twice. Top with the remaining cake
    and chocolate filling.

    Spread remaining whipped cream over sides of cake. Press
    almonds onto sides. Spoon pie filling over top of cake.
    Refrigerate until serving.
