The Tunnel of Fudge cake recipe dates back to 1966.

Tunnel of Fudge cake went viral before invention of Internet

The Tunnel of Fudge story should lift the spirits of anyone who’s been discouraged after competing in a contest. This cake recipe — which DIDN’T win the Pillsbury Bake-Off — is proof that judges aren’t always right.

I was reminded of this story last week as I made a Tunnel of Fudge cake for my daughter’s 22nd birthday. Amy has a thing for Tunnel of Fudge cake, ever since we made it together while I was doing a story on Bundt cakes a good 10 or 12 years ago.
