Is that chocolate on your face? Or have you been eating my Fudge tunnel?

[Margo]

I found this recipie on a blog and PMSL!

Please please will someone bake it and post a reply telling me how good their fudge tunnel tasted :P *giggles to self*

Let's move on to the Bake-Off's most famous recipe. And it wasn't even a Grand Prize winner! In 1966 the Tunnel of Fudge Cake won second place in the Bake-Off. However, the cake was featured on the cover of that year's recipe book. It became an instant hit all across America. So popular that Bundt pans became the best-selling pans and Pillsbury offered the Tunnel of Fudge as a cake mix. There were several flavours in addition to chocolate. I baked quite a number of Tunnel of Fudge cakes during my growing up years. It is said that this cake was the mother of today's lava cakes.


Vintage recipe pamphlet with Tunnel of Fudge recipe


Original Tunnel of Fudge Cake
1 1/2 cups softened Land O Lakes butter
6 eggs
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 cups Pillsbury's Best Flour
1 pkg. Pillsbury Two Layer Size Double Dutch Fudge Buttercream Frosting Mix
2 cups Chopped Diamond Walnuts

Cream butter in large mixer bowl at high speed of mixer. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each. Gradually add sugar, continue creaming at high speed until light and fluffy. By h*dand, stir in flour, frosting mix and walnuts until well blended. Pour batter into greased Bundt pan or 10-inch tube pan. Bake at 350°F for 60 to 65 minutes. Cool 2 hours; remove from pan. Cool completely before serving.

NOTE: Nuts and Double Dutch Fudge Frosting Mix are essential to success of this unusual recipe. Since cake has a soft fudgy interior, test for doneness after 60 minutes by observing dry, shiny brownie type crust.

New Tunnel of Fudge Cake
This is the recipe Pillsbury offers for the prize-winning cake that started the bundt pan revolution. It is not exactly the same as Ella Helfrich’s because Pillsbury stopped making the Double Dutch Fudge Buttercream Frosting Mix she used in the original. Now you have to make the whole cake from scratch. Nuts are essential to the cake’s success. When the cake is cut into, a "tunnel of fudge" will have mysteriously appeared inside.

Cake
1 3/4 cups sugar
1 3/4 cups butter or margarine, softened
6 eggs
2 cups powdered sugar
2 1/4 cups all purpose or unbleached flour
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
2 cups chopped walnuts

Glaze
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
4-6 tsp milk

Heat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 12-cup Bundt pan (or a 10-inch tube pan).

In a large bowl, combine sugar and butter or margarine; beat until light and fluffy. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually add 2 cups powdered sugar; blend well. By hand, stir in flour and remaining cake ingredients until well blended. Spoon batter into greased and floured pan and spread evenly.

Bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until top is set and edges are beginning to pull away from sides of pan. Cool upright in pan on wire rack 1& 1/2 hours. Invert onto serving plate and cool at least 2 hours.

In small bowl, combine glaze ingredients, adding enough milk for desired drizzling consistency. Spoon over top of cake, allowing some to run down sides. Store tightly covered.

Will anyone have your level of smut tho Matt?

and i got it before i clicked into the thread i was actually scared you posted a picture of your fudge tunnel

[Animad]

God the amount of smut in Vets has really decreased and the amount of people 'getting' it. I opened this thinking "do I really want to look at what I know all it will say and then was shocked at the lack of people actually noticing the innuendo and stuff. I guess I've not been on vets much for a while though!

[Margo]

the place has kinda died.

[Duffer44]

It has have to many vets given up the smut and found the real world?

[Gone.]
