      Tunnel of Fudge Cake with Rum

       

      This classic dessert from the '60s was created with an unique spin using our Rum Bakery Emulsion. The Tunnel of Fudge Cake's big debut took place in the 1966 Pillsbury Bake Off, where baker, Ella Helfrich, entered her chocolate cake with its own fudge center. Ella took second place in the competition; and today this popular cake is arguably one of the main reasons why the demand for Bundt cake pans rose dramatically, despite the cake pan being invented in the '50s. Our version of this recipe is similar to Ella's recipe with the smooth, silky fudge center, while adding rich, warm, rum notes in the cake and glaze. The rum flavoring complements the nutty and crunchy walnut bites you will find in the cake's center.
