6 whole eggs, 1.75 cups of butter and 4 cups of sugar -- can't be good for you at all. Tasted the batter and it tasted of sugar only with a hint of chocolate in the background. Didn't want to come out of the pan when completed cooking. When flipped onto cake platter, the fudge center oozed all over the place. Believe I'll try the recipe that uses chocolate cake mix and chocolate pudding as ingredients for the next attempt at this recipe.

This recipe was okay. My family liked it but I wasn't fond of the uncooked center part. Also, the bundt pan needs to be very well greased. My cake fell apart when I was trying to get it out of the pan and then the inside goo went everywhere. I probably won't make this again.

I have this same recipe from a book "Cakes from Scratch in Half the Time" and it bakes at 400 for 35 minutes (using a shiny pan) It gives a nice tunnel of fudge. I have never used a glaze, just a sprinkle of powdered sugar.

WARNING!!!! This cake should only be cooked for 45-50 minutes!!! Those are the directions on the Pillbury website and who should know better. I baked mine for 45 minutes because my cakes are usually done by the lesser time given on any package directions. Everyone loved this cake and I used chopped almonds instead of walnuts. It looked just like the picture. A toothpick should NOT be inserted into the center and it should NOT come out clean. It's supposed to be goopy!!! The Pillsbury website says check it instead by making sure the top is set and that the cake has started pulling away from the edge. Good Luck! It also says to cool in the pan on a wire rack for 1 1/2 hours. Then cool 2 hours before frosting.

I made this for my sweetie's B-Day and even though I over cooked it, he loved it! He said it made the perfect brownie cake. I plan to make it again, but bake it about 5 minutes less next time.

This is one of my favorite recipes... a little time consuming but worth it! I followed the recipe pretty close, except for the baking time: 55 min, and I used chopped pecans... Soooo good! Oh... I had to add an extra Tbsp of milk for the glaze also...

Here's the deal... you definitely have to play with time/temperature based on your own oven. I have this exact recipe based on measurements and ingredients, but my version said to cook at 350 degrees for 45-50 min and wait a full hour and a half before flipping the pan. While the flavor of this recipe was amazing (my husband described it as "death by chocolate"), I could not take it to the party like I had planned to because it turned into a puddle of fudge!!! I think if I would have let it bake the full 50 minutes in my oven it would have been perfect. I knew I was in trouble when I came into the kitchen to check on the cake as it was cooling, and the cake was cracked and I could see the ooey gooey fudge inside had not set enough. I prayed that when I flipped the cake, the cracks would seal and everything would be OK. Well, when I flipped the cake, the center was definitely not done and what I ended up with was cake around the edges holding a literal pool of fudge. Yummy mistake for us, but certainly couldn't take it to a party! My only change was I used pecans rather than walnuts. Everything else I followed exactly.

This is really a brownie recipe that's not cooked all the way through (tunnel of 'fudge' = raw dough). Its good, but its main feature is ruined if you bake it too long.

SORRY- I followed this recipe to a T and it was DRY!!!!! It tasted more like chocolate bread with good chocolate frosting. I crumbled it and put it into a trifle. I'll keep looking for a better recipe!

This cake certainly looks beautiful. I made the cake this morning for an Hors D'oeuvre and Dessert party tonight. However, after reading the reviews, I decided I had better try the cake first. I am disappointed in the dry crumbly texture of this cake. There was no tunnel of fudge, only a few moist morsels in the crumbly mess. It tasted quite chocolatey and rich, but I will have to dream up some plan for a presentable serving of this cake.

HELP!!! Not sure wht i did wrong. The batter was very thick. The cake overflowed fro the pan as it cooked, but fell quite a bit as it was done. Any suggestions? The flavor was great.

Well, I should have known better than to deviate from my mom's recipe, but I thought I would give this one a try. Who knows, maybe I did something wrong, but this cake did not turn out like I thought it should. There was a tunnel of fudge, but the cake fell considerably when cooling and was very splotchy looking. So the appearance was a negative to me. Also, the cakey part just wasn't as sweet as I thought it should be. I know the glaze adds sweetness, but it could have been better. I probably won't try this recipe again.

i love this recipe! for those of you who have tried it and could not get the tunnel of fudge, i suggest you experiment on the baking temperature and the baking time. the first time i did this, i followed the recipe to the letter. the result was a very small tunnel. the next time i did this, i used a lower temperature for baking and 55 minutes baking time. the tunnel was perfect!

Oh Thank You Annie! I used to make this cake back in the 60s but my recipe called for boxed frosting mix. After the introduction of frosting-in-a-tub the boxed mixes disappeared. I made this cake yesterday and it is fabulous. I'd been having a terrible day and I needed an extra chocolate buzz so I doubled your frosting recipe and added 1 tsp of vanilla. OMG! This cake is to die for!!! Thanks again Annie! ****************** TO ISLANDREST: I guess the word fudge is a bit confusing. It's more a 'fudgey-like' layer about 2/3 of the way down inside of the cake. I'm going to make this cake again today!
