AngelPuppy1 - It was! "There's a hole in this cake." LOL! Seriously, I probably make more Bundt cakes than any other kind. I've used recipes for them only, and I have adapted some too. I've never had a problem. Is there any particular type of cake you're thinking of?

@Group 5 minus 1   Do you. remember the Tunnel of Fudge cake?  It was a Pillsbury Bake Off winner one year and made the bundt pan famous.  Nobody had one until they wanted to make that delicious cake.  It was a Pillsbury cake mix with a boxed icing mix added that made a fudge strip through the middle.  I believe that was in the '60s.

I made it all the time for my family especially my brother during the 80's.  It was a mix named Tunnel of Fudge.  Then it just disappeared.  About five years ago my brother asked for one and I had to just invent a filling of fudgy frosting to put in the middle of my bundt cake.  He enjoyed but it was not the same.

I hate it when things disappear.  I just cannot remember if I still made it as a during the 90's or not but I was born in '61 so I know it was still around when I married in '81.

@beckyb1012. Originally it was a two mix deal cake and icing but became so popular, they put it all in one box.  It was delicious, I wish it was still around.

You all have probably already done this, but asking Google to search "Tunnel of Fudge Cake" brings up all kinds of websites that give the recipe and the history of its popularity.  I remember that cake.

I got tired of baking cakes that we never had time or enough people to finish, but I still have my dark-orange-colored Nordic Ware bundt pan gathering dust on the top shelf of a cabinet.  One of these days, I might actually use it again!

I'd forgotten the baker was from Houston but that explains why such a fuss was made about it.  I lived in Houston then.

I did love that movie!!!  

I can't believe I never had a bundt pan!!!  I saw a recipe for an apple cake in one of my magazines.  Now if I can just find it again.  Hmmm -- where did I put it???
