CLASSIC TUNNEL OF FUDGE CAKE



Classic Tunnel of Fudge Cake image

This is that same cake that everyone seemed to make back in the '70's. Pillsbury discontinued their line of dry frosting mixes, and came up with their own revised version, which was NOT the same. I was thrilled to find this version in a food column from the "Minneapolis Star Tribune."
