Chocolate Tunnel Cake

"from A Treasury of Jewish Holiday Baking by Marcy Goldman. Looks good to me. I'm submitting it so I remember to make it some time. Let me know what you think. The idea here is that a luscious "tunnel" of cream cheese and chocolate chips is surrounded by a yummy chocolate cake. The original version of this recipe was a Pillsbury Bake-off winner. To make it dairy free, use soymilk and soy cream cheese. This cake freezes well if wrapped well, and keeps for several days, covered, at room temperature."

  • Preheat oven to 350F Generously grease/spray a 10" Bundt or tube pan.
  • TO MAKE THE CAKE: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugars, oil and eggs and beat for 1 minute until smooth. Add the remaining cake ingredients and beat on medium for 2 to 3 minutes. Set aside.
  • TO MAKE THE FILLING, in another bowl, cream the sugar with the cream cheese, then add everything else and blend till smooth.
  • TO ASSEMBLE: Ladle half the batter into the pan. Spoon filling evenly over this layer. Cover with remaining batter.
  • Bake for 70 minutes, or until the top springs back when touched.
  • Let cake cool for at least 30 minutes before removing it from the pan. If it sticks, place it on a warm burner to loosen it up and help release it. The cake firms up as it cools.
  • TO MAKE THE GLAZE: In a bowl comine all the ingredients to form a pourable glaze, thinning with water if needed. Pour over the cooled cake.
