The recipe is great, but you *can* buy the package mix for the Tunnel of
Fudge Cake. Nordic, the Nordicware people, make several packaged Bundt
cake mixes. Every so often I see them in the specialty items in grocery
stores. I have also found them in cookware stores. A web search will
reveal all of the place they hide and how to order them online.

Damsel,
You sure know how to make a guy hungry and I imagine you are a great
cook!! I would marry you, except I am ***, so I don't think it would
work out

Mark

Ya think? I just went back and read the whole thread to see if nobody

Didn't the original recipe call for a package or "can" of fudge frosting
along with a packaged cake mix? I don't think I ever made the cake,
but the recipe was in the magazines for years.

If not, it won't be the first time i have remembered wrongly.
