Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cup Butter
  • 6 Eggs
  • 1 1/2 cup Sifted Flour
  • 12 1/2 ounce Double Dutch Frosting Mix
  • 2 cup Walnuts Or Pecans
Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 350ðF (175ðC). Grease and flour a 12-cup Bundt pan thoroughly.
  2. 2
    In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter until smooth and creamy.
  3. 3
    Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure they are fully incorporated.
  4. 4
    Gradually add the sifted flour, dry Double Dutch frosting mix, and chopped walnuts or pecans.
  5. 5
    Stir by hand or mix on low speed until just combined and well blended; do not overmix.
  6. 6
    Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, spreading it evenly.
  7. 7
    Bake for 60 to 65 minutes. Do not use a toothpick test; the center should remain moist.
  8. 8
    Check for doneness by observing a dry, shiny, brownie-like crust on the outside.
  9. 9
    Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 30 minutes before removing.
  10. 10
    Carefully invert the cake onto a wire rack or serving plate to cool completely before slicing.

Note

The "tunnel" effect is achieved because the center remains moist and fudge-like while the outside bakes into a dense cake. Do not overbake, or the center will dry out.

For best results, use room temperature butter and eggs to ensure a smooth batter.

You can substitute walnuts with pecans for a slightly sweeter nut flavor.

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. Reheat slices gently in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to restore the gooey fudge texture.

Double Dutch frosting mix is a specific brand of dry chocolate frosting mix. If unavailable, a similar unsweetened cocoa powder and sugar blend may work, but results may vary.
