Ingredients

• 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
• 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 3 large eggs
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 cups walnuts, chopped
• 3/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a Bundt pan.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the granulated sugar and softened butter until light and fluffy.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
4. In a separate bowl, combine the flour and cocoa powder. Gradually add this mixture to the creamed mixture, beating until well blended.
5. Stir in the chopped walnuts.
6. Spoon half of the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, spreading it evenly.
7. In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
8. Pour the glaze over the batter in the pan, making sure it stays in the center and doesn't touch the sides of the pan.
9. Carefully spoon the remaining batter over the glaze layer, spreading it to cover the glaze completely. Smooth the top.
10. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the edges start to pull away from the pan and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with fudgy crumbs.
11. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 1 hour.
12. Once cooled, invert the pan onto a serving plate to release the cake.
13. Allow the cake to cool completely before serving. The fudge center will set as it cools.
14. Slice and serve this delectable Tunnel of Fudge Cake, and watch as the hidden fudge tunnel surprises everyone.
