How to Make Creamy Fudge Tunnel Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Generously grease and lightly flour a 10-inch tube or bundt pan. Tap out any excess flour.
- In a small saucepan, melt 1 1/4 cups (6 ounces) semi-sweet chocolate chips over low heat, stirring frequently.
- In a mixing bowl, beat together 8 ounces cream cheese (softened), 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 3 tablespoons heavy cream until smooth.
- Stir in the melted chocolate until fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Set aside.
- In a separate large bowl, combine one 15.25-ounce box of your favorite chocolate cake mix, 1/2 cup brewed strong coffee, 1/3 cup vegetable oil, and 3 large eggs.
- Beat with an electric mixer for 4 minutes, or until well combined.
- Pour the cake batter into the prepared pan.
- Sprinkle 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans over the batter (optional).
- Mound the cream cheese mixture down the center of the cake, creating a tunnel, but do not spread it to touch the sides of the pan.
- Bake for 55-65 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the top springs back when gently pressed.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for at least one hour before inverting onto a serving plate.
- To make the glaze: Heat 1/2 cup heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to bubble around the edges.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup (3 ounces) semi-sweet chocolate chips until melted and smooth.
- Let it simmer for one minute to slightly thicken.
- Pour the warm glaze over the inverted cake, allowing it to drizzle down the sides.
- Let the cake cool completely. The glaze will set as it cools.
- Store the cake in the refrigerator. Best served chilled.
