I’ve heard of that cake, but never had one. It looks really good! My family always had Texas sheet cake with lots of pecans in the icing for our birthday cake.
Same
That was one of my Mama's speciality! Gosh hers was SO moist and delicious! 🥰
I’m a proud Texas! We just love that cake. My son wanted it for his birthday. Wonderful memories and a really delicious cake. 💗🙏🤠
My mom used to make this. It was a bake-off recipe winner. It was made from scratch. Since then the recipe has morphed a few times. Good memories.
Tammy that looks delicious my husband‘s birthday is on November 1 and that’s the cake I’m going to make he loves chocolate thank you so much for always sharing you are a sweetheart many many blessings to you and Chris and your family❤️👍🙏
Hey Kathy, my husband's birthday is Nov 1 too! His favorite is chocolate so he will get this for his birthday 🥳
Hi Tammy, the hot water steeps the cocoa like tea, developing more chocolate flavor. It really does matter. Happy birthday to your newly legal party girl!
We always poured half of the mixed cake into the pan then put the pudding in. The other half goes over the pudding layer.
Believe it or not I still have the original recipe that came off the box of Pillsbury it was made from scratch and you also used one package of Pillsbury smooth and creamy chocolate fudge frosting mix. They don't make it anymore, I contacted Pillsbury and they sent me a little recipe card on how to make the frosting by scratch. I love watching your channel and have you several recipes from it. Have a wonderful week. Love from Florida
I remember reading about the history of this cake: It was invented by a lady from Minnesota who entered it in the Pillsbury Bake-Off. She won first place. The cake also made people across the US discover the bundt pan, which was kind of a regional cake pan only used in Minnesota and the Upper Midwest. It made bundt pans popular.
That’s the one I remember!! I would sure like that recipe. Yum yum yum. I’ve looked and looked for a tunnel recipe Find me. Aha. I subscribed!!!
@Maria Roberts My Mom made it that way too in the 70s and 80s. From scratch and with walnuts and the box Pillsbury icing mix in it. It was awesome. She made it for my brother a lot too. Tammy’s looks delicious too.
Maria, would you please copy that recipe from the back of the box? I know that other people besides myself would love to have that. It never occurred to me that such a popular mix would be discontinued.
Please gift us the original recipe from the Pillsbury box. I have been searching for that recipe since my mom died. I thought it was from the Jell-O company. And yes, I meant to say gift. ❤
Omg!!! This video is great!! My granny was from Alabama and this was her favorite. It’s the only place I ever got to have it !!! Miss you granny Mavis ❤️
I remember my mama making Bundt cakes...maybe back in the early 80s. She passed away in January and I still miss her every single day.
I love it when you talk about things your family did in years past. Brings back memories of my life. This cake looks divine!!
I'm thinkin a little Watkins coffee flavoring in the cake part would make it EXTRA!!!!! And I'm glad you're showing the Watkins clear vanilla bottle. I don't think a lot of people realize you can buy that😉
Can’t say enough how much I appreciate a baking time lapse. I’m making this cake once the red velvet we have is gone!
My mom made this cake for my birthday every year! I loved it.
This cake looks so moist and yummy! Thanks for sharing it with us!
@CVC everytime I watch your videos, it's like a great big ol hug!!! Thank you. You are appreciated that you know.❤
Thank you , Thank you for sharing! I'm going to make this for my Grandchildren 🤩

Happy 21st Birthday to your Mae❣️🎂🎉 If you wanted the “tunnel of fudge” to be more in the middle of the cake, could you pour half the batter in the pan, spoon the pudding in the center, and then pour in the rest of the cake mix on top? Just wondering if that would work. Thanks💕
Mine sunk to the bottom when I did that before
OK, thanks Tammy! Better not try that then. I figured you would know!😘
@@CollardValleyCooks I have read that if you don't add walnuts to the fudge, it won't go to the center for some reason. 🤷♀️
One of my all time favorite cakes from my childhood. Don't think they make them anymore so I'm happy to see a homemade version! Can't wait to try
Tammy, it's sad to say, but I use to by the tunnel of fudge cake by Pillsbury. I loved this cake so much. I would make one a week. Now I will be sure to make yours. It looks so delicious.
Donna, I was sad when they stopped carrying them! Remember the coconut?
Aha. Pillsbury! I thought. Betty Crocker! Boy was it good so happy to find this recipe
I sure do I loved that one too...@@josephinelynch9138
Oh yeah that one was good also...@@josephinelynch9138
I’ve never had this cake before. I’m going to make It because it looks delicious. Happy 21st birthday May.
Looks so good. Never heard of one of those. I'm going to try it for the holidays.. Thanks for sharing Tammy!!
You are supposed to pour half the cake batter, then the pudding, then the rest of the cake batter... that’s how my mom made it and the tunnel would be in the middle.
I thought the same thing. Also maybe using a devil’s food cake from scratch since the pudding is homemade too. Any way you make it, chocolate is so delicious!
My Mama made this cake and this one and the Texas Sheet Cake were my favs!
This looks like a rich and delightful cake. My mother always made Devil's Food Cake with chocolate frosting on my birthday. My grandmother was a great cook, not much of a cake baker though. That title belonged to my grandmother on my father's side. I enjoyed how perky you sound while you cook.
I am going to give this one a try! Thank you so much for teaching me to be a cook like my mama and grandma was now I can cook for my grandkids when they get older, right now they are 3 months 6 months and 2.5 years old. You just dont realize how much you have taught me since I found you about 1.5 years ago!
A little bit of a lot of vanilla!!!🤣😀 I can relate to that!
For sure!!🌺
If there is a piece missing, I carefully squeeze the cake together to fill in the missing piece!
God bless you Tammy,it's good to see your smiling face in the kitchen making those delicious dishes, thank Jesus you're over covid. God's good. Love in Christ Jesus
Hi Tammy!❤ I want tobsay thanks to you and Chris for sharing your world, recipes and vacations with us! Love your videos!
Follow the heart of God, listen to His Word and keep the voices of the world in their proper place. Appreciate the good and disregard the bad. Stay close to one another!❤
GOD bless you!!!
Got this cake in my oven thanks to you! Can’t wait to dig in! Thank you dear. I have yet to try your Salisbury steak but it will be soon on our menu🤤
Hope you enjoy
Tammy on your glaze try putting three tablespoons of condensed milk it makes it Devine 😋
News flash.. This cake is devine! Why don't you all start your own cooking show😂😂😂
One of my favorites from when my momma made them. These cakes are delicious. Thank you for bringing it back. 😋 yum
I have never heard of this cake! Can't wait to try it.
I am def having my momma make this for me for my birthday 🤣🤣 and yes I’m turning 36 and yes I’m gonna ask her to make for me ♥️♥️♥️ yummmmmy
Looks so good! I always learn so much from you. You are a blessing
THANK YOU! A REAL “tunnel of fudge” cake! I am so tired of seeing recipes say “don’t let it cook too long or you’ll lose that fudgy center” that is NOT what a tunnel of fudge cake is!!! Tunnel of Fudge cake mixes back in the ‘80s had a thick pudding that was added JUST LIKE YOU ARE DOING NOW!!! why do ppl not understand this?! 🤦🏽♀️
Made the Taco Skillet tonight! This cake is definitely getting made tomorrow! Thank you.
Wonderful!
That looks amazing & super easy…I feed lunch to first responders Wednesday, so I’m making this for dessert…yum!
Sounds great! So awesome of you to do that!
The cake looks so yummy. I hope your daughter had the best birthday ever
Thank you, this is my husband's favorite. I will definitely be making this for him.
I love how you teach as you go Tammy. The cake looks scrumptious and super moist.
Happy Birthday May!!
That cake looked DELICIOUS Tammy! I don't believe I have had one of those-but I will now. Thank you!
Much Love! 💛🙏💛
Chocolate bundt cake is there anything better than that yumminess. Thank you Tammy for another fabulous recipe have a blessed evening stay safe and healthy for you and chris. 🙏❤🙏❤🙏❤💕💕💕😊🤗🥰
Looks soooo good. A good one to make for a crowd, family or church, so it’s not at home to keep tempting me.
Tammy, when the cake has this fudge center and glaze with milk, should leftovers (😂) be refrigerated?
They do not have to be
Oh thats definitely going to be on my table for Christmas.
My favorite was the coconut tunnel cake the chocolate cake oh my God that was so good.
Hello from Lexington, North Carolina!❤ I bet May really enjoyed that cake, it looks delicious 😋 😋 I missed the Live Chat earlier, we were exploring St Marys 😘😃 I'm SO EXCITED😃😍❤ Love you!❤
Thank you ! I’ve been looking for this for awhile. I think ?? It was Betty Crocker that had a nice box mix ! YUM
Jesus is your free gift to heaven when you believe in his death, burial and resurrection you are immediately saved
AMEN!!
Kathie says…🎈🎈Happy Birthday May!! 🎂🍰🎈🎈🎈 Enjoy your Special Day!! Wishing you a year full of happiness! P.S. Vanilla Dairy Queen Ice Cream goes GREAT with that cake!!
Yummy can't wait to make that cake, thanks for sharing your Mama's recipes.
I had forgotten all about those! Thanks for sharing!❤
I use to make this in the 60s and 70s. I bought a bundt pan just to make this cake. I'm not sure I still have the pan, but I'll look for it. Thanks for the demonstration.
Thank you so much for the memories, Tammy! I have always loved this cake, but haven’t had it in years 💕
Oh, that cake looks so good! I'm sure May enjoyed it.....Happy Birthday May! 😊
I’m so happy that I bought all three cookbooks!
Yay! Thank you!
I Love the names you chose for your daughters one of the names I chose for my daughter is May as well and my name is Amy : ) I’ve always wondered how to make this cake it looks amazing thank you
Yep, made ToF cake all through the 70s, 80s long before there was Bakers Joy. Greasing & flouring those bundt pans was a nightmare!ToF and Strawberry sheet cake, both made with mixes as the base. I could always taste the oil in the strawberry but not choc.
OH I remember making those. So yummy going to have to find my bundt cake. Glad you feeling better.
What I remember is my grandmother making a big breakfast with sausage links and fried eggs when we visited her.
i found a recipe for a tunnel of fudge cake about 15 years ago but that was from scratch with a choc icing, i decided to make it for a family friend's 90th birthday and it turns out she used to make that cake when she was younger which i did not know, i was told i did a good job and that the tunnel of fudge was visible
i did use a bundt pan that my grandmother had probably since the 1960's and the mixer she had for almost as long if not longer, although i do have a new kitchen aid i cannot bring myself to get rid of it
Sister used to make those and the macaroon chocolate bundt cakes. Back then you could buy the complete cake mix (cake and filling) and did not need to make the filling from scratch.
I am going to need to replace my hand mixer. The Dollar store one I have has started smelling hot when I use it. You know the saying, "buy cheap, you'll surely weep".
Looks good, I don't really like total chocolate so I'm gonna try yellow cake mix or make it homemade with butter, I'm sure it's still good Thanks for the idea 🥰
Betty Crocker makes a triple chocolate cake mix and it is delicious . It has the pudding in it and it is moist It would be good, I think, with this recipe. I enjoy your videos and always looking for the next one. You cook like my mama did! Yummm. God bless you and your sweet family. ❤️
This makes 3 different kinds of tunnel of fudge cakes I've seen. I will try your version.
That cake looks insanely delicious. Happy birthday to Amy🍰🍰🍰
Does it get any better than that?? Yummm🤐😋🥳Happy Birthday to May
A little bit of homemade ice cream would be delicious!💕
I can't wait to try making this. I'm not nearly as graceful as Miss Tammy is, so I will be trying to use an ice cream scoop for that tunnel
I will surely make this cake and make the glaze a chocolate drizzle. Thanks for sharing,
I end up with cocoa on the counter and on myself every time!
Looks delicious,going to make it tomorrow! Thank you!
I have never heard of this cake. I know I will be baking this one!!
I remember my mom making it. Totally forgot about it.
Yesss I remember those cakes. We made them alll the time when they sold the box mix. Definitely one of my favorites
My Tunnel of Fudge cake is in the oven right now! Your pudding recipe uses water. I always think of pudding being made with milk. Do you ever do that?
Yes you can do that
My birthday is tomorrow, wish someone was going to bake me one.
We used to have a version of this cake, no box mix though and it had a ring of Hersey bars in the center.
To the cake batter add 1 1/4 C. Water, 1/2 C. Avocado oil, 3 eggs
A women after my own ❤️ I love,like chocolate, and how you said im a little off but that's ok 😊 Thank you.
😍Mother used to make me one on my birthday when I could remember and not one that was purchased...we didn't have pudding or butter in the cake mix...she used boxed chocolate frosting as the fudge...then she couldn't find the frosting but Pillsbury came out with one that was a good copycat but then for whatever reason they took it off the market and there was not a boxed version again...she tried making it all from scratch with various recipes for homemade but it was never the same again😫
I truly believe the best part of watching Tammy is seeing her adjust as she goes. That's true home cooking and what another person needs to learn.
I totally agree!
I'm just gonna have to try that, it looks yummy 😋
Thanks 👍
Yummy!!! Happy birthday to May!!!! 🎂
Honey...you are good mamma making May her birthday cake. Look at the party room! Happy birthday May. Love chocolate and love this cake.
Bye for now Lizzie lu
Happy birthday May. My daughter's birthday is today too.
Wow. I’ve got to make this one.
💖👼🏻🌺
Happy Birthday for tomorrow Sweet May!
Wow, yum. 😋 use to love my mom's tunnel cake.
Can you make a boxed non-instant pudding for the pudding mix? Perhaps use vanilla. Thanks so much for the recipe.
I think so but not for sure
I don't own a microwave. How would you make the pudding on the stove top? Maybe use a sauce pan on LOW and stir til thick?
I had to leave you last night when U were live. I just watched oh my goodness does that look so good I want to make it now I have a reason to get a bunt pan lol
That looks delicious😋 I enjoy your videos so much😊😊💖💖❤❤
Happy birthday Sweet Mae🎂🎁🎉🎊 Tammy I will make this tomorrow ❣️❣️❣️ it looks absolutely delicious 🎂 Thank You for sharing ♥️ I Love you Sweetheart ♥️♥️
I love bundt cakes and this looks delicious!

Ur Momma C.V C
really Ilike that fudge would cook of the cheese like Moma in Cooked .on my. That Tammy u did a beautiful cookd it looks delished
I put a cup of sour cream in my bundt cakes
Love that Ladys cooking
Does it matter if I bring the water to a boil on the stove or the microwave? Ever since reading an article about heated liquid in the microwave exploding on people causing severe burns I’ve only boiled water on the stove. Something about the microwave easily getting water just past boiling into a superheated liquid without being obvious. The superheated liquid getting trapped under the surface tension of the water and exploding as soon as anything hits the surface.
It does not matter
That cake looks amazing 😋😍
Hi Tammy I’ve been looking for a low speed mixer like the one you have are you able to tell us the brand name? I love your cooking so much.
