Tunnel of Fudge Cake
"So rich and gooey! This cake is made completely from scratch-no mixes required. The secret to the fudgy tunnel is the addition of the nuts-don't be stingy with them! It's from Pillsbury Best of the Bakeoff."

This is an awesome recipe. Not only was it beautiful but tasted like chocolate heaven... more like a brownie or hot fudge cake. You're right you can't be stingy with the walnuts or this cake won't turn out. I've made it several times, and each time great raves and reviews. Thanks for posting, I have it saved in my cookbook online and have uploaded a picture that shows just how inviting this cake is. ~V
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I'm a stay at home mom with 3 adorable children-an 8 year old daredevil son, a 5 1/2 year old princess and a wild little 2 year old girl! I love to cook, and like having my little helpers in the kitchen!
I usually love recipes that are completely from scratch (I still love them actually) but right now my focus is on having any kind of food ready by mealtime! It's a little crazy here lately. Every summer we have a huge organic garden, apple orchard and raspberry and blueberry patches, along with a woods full of wild foods waiting for me to learn what they are so I can collect them. I'm learning about wild mushrooms first, so if anyone has any tips, let me know. We also eat wild venison which my husband and I hunt ourselves. It's our favorite meat, since it's lean, organic and cheap! Some of my hobbies are: hiking, biking, rock climbing, gardening, playing in the water with my kids, or just swinging in the hammock with a good book. I go stir crazy if I spend too much time inside.
