This cake recipe is the result of a discontinued, but wonderful box mix. It is a chocolate cake that slices to reveal a beautiful white coconut center. Yummy! The vanilla glaze can easily be made into chocolate by adding 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10 inch Bundt pan.

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.
