Tunnel Ofr Fudge Cake

 
This has to be one of my favorite cakes ever.. I made it a lot back in the 60's...
 

1 3/4 cups butter or margarine, softened
1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
6 eggs
2 cups powered sugar
2 1/4 cups all purpose flour
3/4 cup cocoa
2 cups chopped walnuts

Ingredients for Glaze:

3/4 cup powered sugar
1/4 cup cocoa
1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons milk

Heat oven to 350° . Grease and flour 12 cup Bundt Pan. In large bowl beat margarine and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Gradually add powdered sugar, blend well. By hand, stir in remaining cake ingredients until well blended. Spoon batter into prepared pan; spread evenly. Bake at 350°  for 58-62 minutes.

Cool upright in pan on cooling rack 1 hour, invert onto serving plate. Cool completely.

In small bowl, combine glaze ingredients until well blended. Spoon over top of cake, allowing some to run down sides.

Store tightly covered.

Makes 16 servings.

Notes:

Nuts are essential for the success of the recipe.

Since this cake has a soft tunnel of fudge, ordinary doneness test cannot be used. Accurate oven temperature
and baking time are critical.
