“In 1966 a chocolate cake called the Tunnel of Fudge Cake, made with a
boxed frosting mix, won the Pillsbury BAKE-OFF Contest. Although the
frosting mix was discontinued, Pillsbury continued to receive so many
requests for the cake that the company developed a scratch recipe to
simulate the original. Here it is:”
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 12-cup bundt pan or 10″ angel
food tube pan. Dust with flour; tap out excess. 2. In a large bowl, beat
together butter and sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until
light and fluffly, 1 to 2 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well
after each addition. Gradually add 2 cups powdered sugar, beating until
well blended.
