Hi everyone!
It’s What’s Cookin’? Wednesday!
If you love chocolate, then this is definitely the cake for you! The only downside to this cake is the waiting time while it cools… oh, and maybe the calories 😉
Ingredients
- 1-1/2 cups butter (not margarine)
- 6 eggs
- 1-1/2 cups sugar
- 2 cups flour
- 2 boxes Jiffy chocolate fudge frosting mix
- 2 cups chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Cream butter with mixer at high speed
- Add eggs- one at a time
- Gradually add sugar
- Continue beating at high speed until batter is light and fluffy
- By hand- fold in flour, frosting mix, and walnuts until well blended
- Pour batter into a greased Bundt pan or a 10" tube pan
- Bake for approximately 60 minutes (depending on your oven)- the top of the cake should be "brownie-like" when done. You canNOT use the "toothpick test" on this one!
- COOL in pan for 2 hours
- Remove from pan and COOL COMPLETELY before slicing
This recipe has always been a hit or miss for me, but when it does turn out like it’s supposed to, then it’s WONDERFUL! There is a gooey “tunnel” of fudge surrounded by moist cake that just seems to make my eyeballs roll back into my head with every bite… sooooooooooo chocolatey good!
My family (ok… me, too 😉 ) is usually too impatient to wait for it to cool completely, so we end up with a “gooier” than normal “tunnel”, but that’s okay- it NEVER goes to waste (but beware… because it always seems to go to waist!). If you over-bake it, then you’ll have less fudgy “goo” and more cake… so you may have to experiment with it a couple of times to find the perfect baking time for your oven.
Try it and let me know how you like it!
Enjoy!
