Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 5 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for the tunnel of fudge)
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup heavy cream (for optional ganache topping)
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (for optional ganache topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Stir in the powdered sugar and semi-sweet chocolate chips to create the tunnel of fudge filling within the batter.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared bundt pan. Use a spatula to smooth the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted near the outer edge comes out clean. Note that the center will remain gooey.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 1 hour. Then carefully invert the cake onto a serving plate to remove it from the pan.
For the optional ganache topping, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and pour it over 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips in a bowl. Let sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth.
Drizzle the ganache over the fully cooled cake, letting it run down the sides. Allow the ganache to set before slicing and serving.
Serve slices of the Chocolate Tunnel Fudge Cake and enjoy its gooey, chocolate-filled center!
