Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups unsalted butter, softened
- 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
- 6 large eggs
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 cups chopped walnuts
- 1 3/4 cups chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a fluted tube pan (Bundt pan).
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar to the butter mixture, beating until well blended. Stir in the flour, cocoa powder, chopped walnuts, chocolate chips, vanilla extract, and salt until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake for 60-65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 1 hour. Then, carefully remove the cake from the pan and cool completely on a wire rack.
- For the chocolate glaze, melt 1/2 cup of chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and melted. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake.
- Slice and serve the Tunnel of Fudge Cake, savoring the rich chocolate flavors and the delightful surprise of the fudgy center.
