This is for Rita Halifax, MA
Tunnel of Fudge Cake, who in
the 1114/09 newsletter requested the tunnel of fudge cake
recipe. This is from a Pillsbury cookbook and does not
require the dry frosting mix that is so hard to find these
days. It has been years since I made this, but I remember my
mom making it many times for special dinners.
