Many years ago, I could buy the box of cake mix that made the tunnel of fudge cake in a bundt pan. I have found recipes made totally from scratch, but would like one that uses a basic cake mix.I have the cake mix and cook and serve pudding mix, but has anyone ever tried it this way, and if so, how did it come out? And did any of the ingredients have to be changed for it to bake right?Anyone have the recipe for ';tunnel of fudge cake'; that uses a box mix?
I think they quit making the boxed mix.
So stick w/ the original! Incidently, 1966 was the last year that Pillsbury brand flour could be used as an acceptable ingredient in the Pillsbury Bake-Off. Now it's nearly all prepared food products.
