Growing up this is the cake I would beg to have for my birthday. I don't know if this is a recipe my aunt created or just one that she introduced to us. This is still my most favorite cake, but one of the main ingredients stopped being made by the two companies that made it. I think it has been about 20 years since I have been able to have my Tunnel of Fudge Cake. I found the key ingredient made now by another company, and gave the recipe a whirl.
Here is the recipe:
Tunnel of Fudge Cake from S. Lowe
Beat until fluffy 1 1/2 c. butter
Beat in 1 1/2 c. sugar
Beat in 6 eggs (one at a time)
Then BY HAND stir in:
2 c. flour
2 c. chopped walnuts (pecans are yummy too!)
1 pkg. (dry) Fudge Frosting Mix (Sweet N Low makes one)
Bake at 350 degrees for 55-60 minutes in a greased angel food pan (the middle should be fudge like so the regular method of checking for doneness doesn't work).
Let cool in the pan for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
This is seriously the yummiest cake ever!
Cooling in the pan.....
Look at the yummy fudge in the middle...

Hey Niecey,
Glad your cake turned out so beautifully! This recipe was an old Pillsbury Bake Off Winner back in the 1960's, and I was introduced to it the year I spent the summer in Oroville with my cousin and her family.
Glad it brings back happy memories for you!
Aunt S
