Best 8 Tunnel Of Fudge Cake Iii Recipes

TUNNEL-OF-FUDGE CAKE

Steps:

• Place a heavy baking sheet or pizza stone on a shelf in the lower third of the oven. Heat the oven to 350 degrees (see note).
• On a large baking sheet, roast nuts in the oven for 10 minutes. Keep watch that they do not burn. Pour into a bowl, and add 2 tablespoons butter and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Toss well and set aside.
• Generously butter the inside of a large 12-cup Bundt cake pan.
• In a mixer, beat butter to soften until it becomes fluffy. Add sugar, then the brown sugar and continue to beat until airy. While beating, if the bowl does not feel cool, place it in the freezer for five minutes, then resume beating.
• Beat in 3/4 teaspoon salt, vanilla and vegetable oil.
• Beat in two egg yolks. Crack the four whole eggs into a large mixing bowl. With a small knife, cut yolks and barely stir the eggs, minimally blending the whites and yolks.
• With the mixer on the lowest speed, beat the eggs into the batter in three batches. Mix in confectioners' sugar and the cocoa.
• In a large mixing bowl, stir flour and nuts together. Then with a spatula stir the flour-nut mixture into the batter. Pour the batter into the Bundt pan.
• Bake for 40 minutes. You cannot use the toothpick test because the cake contains so much sugar that the center will not set but will remain a tunnel-of-fudge. You are dependent on a correct oven temperature and the 40-minute cooking time.
• When removed from the oven, the cake will have a runny fudge core with an air pocket above the fudge. About 30 minutes after taking the cake out of the oven, press the inside and outside edge of the cake bottom down all the way around to minimize the air pocket. Let the cake, still in the pan, cool on a rack for two to three hours. Invert the cake onto a platter and let cool completely.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 F.
• Measure flour by lightly spooning the flour into the measuring cup, NOT by scooping the measuring cup into the flour. The scoop-and-level method is incorrect and will make this cake too dry.
• In a large bowl, combine butter, white sugar and brown sugar and beat until mixture is light and fluffy. Add melted and cooled chocolate, beating until combined.
• Add eggs, one at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition until eggs combine with butter mixture (this can take some time).
• Sift the confectioners' sugar BEFORE you measure it. Gradually add it to the batter, mixing well. By hand, stir in flour, cocoa, vanilla, and pecans until well blended.
• Spray a 12-cup Bundt pan with nonstick baking spray combined with flour. Spoon batter into prepared pan. Bake at 350 F for 48 to 54 minutes, until crust looks dry and shiny ( traditional doneness tests won't work because of the soft fudge center).
• Cool cake in pan on a rack for 1 hour, then invert onto serving plate and remove pan. Cool completely. If you bake the cake for a shorter period of time, it will have true fudge in the center. Bake it longer for a moist tunnel in the center.
• Make the glaze by placing the chocolate chips and oil in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on 50 percent power for 2 minutes and then stir. Continue microwaving until chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.
• Pour into a small zip-top bag. Cut a tiny piece off the corner of the bag and pipe the chocolate over the cake, using a back-and-forth motion. Let cool.
