"I remember this version of the tunnel of fudge cake recipe from years ago. It is fabulous and was the winner of the Pillsbury twenty five thousand dollar bake off back in the late sixtys or early seve..." See morentys. The problem is I haven't been able to find the frosting mix and I understand that the original one made by Pillsbury is no longer available because all the frostings come in cans now. But no other recipe that I've tried for the tunnel of fudge cake compares to this one!"

"This is hands down the best chocolate cake ever! Mom used to make a version very close to this for decades. Since she passed and I can't find her recipe book this is the next best thing. Thanks!..." See more"

"I did use canned frosting as a "package" of frosting was no where to be found. Not sure if the fudge part that settled to the bottom was supposed to be the tunnel. This wasn't that fudgey or chocolaty..." See more, it was just ok. Good to know though that if you don't have chocolate in the house and you might have canned frosting that you can make a dessert with it."
