The reviewer gave this recipe 5 stars. This recipe averages a 4.29 star rating.

Very easy to make and a huge hit! I had a white cake mix, so I added 1/4 c. cocoa to the cake mix. I made the following adjustments based on other reviews: I used white chocolate chips with the cream cheese mixture and added an egg as well as 1/4 c flour. I also let it cool 1 1/2 hours in the pan before inverting, and had no problems with the cake collapsing. Instead of the glaze, I melted white chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips, and milk chocolate chips and drizzled on top. Next time, I will cut back on the cream cheese to 1 8oz and 1 3 oz package as I had extra this time. Great recipe!

I made this yesterday for a friend's birthday party. I was really nervous because i usually screw up baked goods. But I just followed the recipe - the only thing I changed out of necessity was to use skim milk instead of heavy cream, and i didn't have any pecans, but this was delicious and I'm sure it would have been better with them. :P So many people commented on how good the cake was - thank you very much for the recipe! :)

I really like this but without the topping! It makes it too sweet!

I only baked the cake for 40 minutes and the cake part is very, very dry. Had I baked for the full recommended time, the cake would have been no good at all. Maybe it's just me, but something about this recipe is off. I did however take the advice of others here and added an egg to the cream cheese mixture, that turned out great! But I don't think I will bother to make this again.

Followed the recipe as others suggested by adding an egg to the tunnel mix. Cake was perfect and it was a surprise for my dads birthday. HUGE SUCCESS!!!

We baked this cake too long because the toothpick test does simply not work on this cake - probably because of the cream cheese tunnel. The cake part was a little on the dry side so I think we will try it again and not bake it as long. It was still excellent with ice cream, however!

This cake just didn't work for me. It should be baked in a tubepan so the cream cheese sinks to the middle and not on the bottom in a bundt pan when you invert it. The cake was quite dry and not a lot of flavor. It wasn't as WOW as I had hoped it would be.

The cake was DELICIOUS! I would recommend only making it for parties or if you have company over. I made it one day just because I was craving some chocolate cake. It was SO rich and delicious but I couldn't eat it all! I ended up throwing half of it away!

Awesome recipe! This was the first time I really ever made a cake and it was wonderful. I followed the advice from everyone and added an egg and flour to the cream cheese mixture and my cake didn't collapse! I'm cooking at high elevations, so I also added flour to the cake mix as well. Better cold than hot:) Definitely worth your time.

Very good. I used water instead of coffee, and just one cream cheese. I will follow the advice to add one egg to cream cheese because it did not hold up to slicing. When I took the cake out of bundt it caved in. I put it back in pan, and took out again next morning. The cake was in pretty good shape. I only baked for 55 minutes, but will make sure it is VERY cool next time before taking out. I am looking forward to trying with the white chocolate.

everybody seemed to like it and the filling was good but the cake part was a little dry for me. i'm not sure if it's the long baking time or if it needs more liquid/oil. i don't think i'll be making this again. but the icing was yummy!

Forgiving recipe. I can never follow a recipe without tweaking and this time, I also forgot several things. Then I totally left out the frosting but that is because I share our baking with the future in-laws and we try to keep sugar down. So the things I did different ... cream cheese layer; used only 8 oz cream cheese, 1 egg and 1/3 + 1/6 cup sugar, forgot the heavy cream and left out the choc chips. Cake layer; used only 1/4 cup vegetable oil and forgot the nuts. Got two 8inch (baked 55 mins) and one 4inch (baked 30 mins) loaves. Boyfriend and son ate one larger loaf between them in 15 mins. Rated only 3 because of the many changes. Will return when I follow the recipe exactly.

To avoid the "hole in the center" when the cream cheese tunnel doesn't hold up to slicing, add an egg and 1/2 cup of flour and 1/2 tsp. baking powder to the cream cheese mixture. Yummy cake!

We LOVED this recipe. I did make a few changes though. 1st, I used the "Sunday Best Chocolate Cake" recipe on this site, instead of the cake mix. I'm not a big cake mix fan. I halfed the cream cheese mixture, because I olnly had 1 pkg of cream cheese. It turned out great still though. It actually may have been too cream cheesy had I used the amount called for. All in all, a wonderful recipe that my boyfriend called "Awesom!" This will be added to our list of faves for sure! Thanks for sharing this one :)

Very interesting cake! I think next time I will use 2 boxes of cake mix though (double the cake recipe) because it was a bit much fudge for the cake. It was a yummy cake though, I will totally make it again!
