The recipe is great, but you *can* buy the package mix for the Tunnel of
Fudge Cake. Nordic, the Nordicware people, make several packaged Bundt
cake mixes. Every so often I see them in the specialty items in grocery
stores. I have also found them in cookware stores. A web search will
reveal all of the place they hide and how to order them online.

Didn't the original recipe call for a package or "can" of fudge frosting
along with a packaged cake mix? I don't think I ever made the cake,
but the recipe was in the magazines for years.
If not, it won't be the first time i have remembered wrongly.

I haven't seen powdered frosting mix in many moons. Shame, because
those were actually edible. The stuff in plastic "cans" tastes like
something you'd use to strip paint or something.

I don't make cakes very often but when I do, I make my own buttercream
frosting.
What I haven't made in an age is german chocolate cake. Homemade
coconut pecan topping is so much better than the stuff in the plastic
tub, and if you make it yourself you can make a really big batch so
nobody will notice that you've been eating it by the spoonful.

A gay man hungry for Tunnel of Fudge Cake?
Surely this is a troll?

Hello Kathleen,
Strongly agree.
The wife loves german chocolate cake with homemade coconut pecan
topping...without the coconut or pecans. (No, I'm not kidding.) It's
not bad, actually. Sort of like a custard glaze, and it soaks into
the cake a bit and makes it slightly moister. (More moist? Whatever.)

i think paint stripper is the wrong simile here - it usually refers to
coffee or an alcoholic beverage. the approved comparator for sludgy solids
is 'library paste,' which i'm not sure even exists any more.

I've tasted library paste, and it's better than those canned
frostings. They've got a weird, chemical taste that just doesn't
belong in food.

Is 'library paste' similar to Perkins Paste?

Ya think? I just went back and read the whole thread to see if nobody
(else) picked up on this. Amazing!

It must be. Check the bottom of the recipe posted by the OP:

OMG, Perkins Paste!! I read your post and immediately could smell the
contents of that little pink pot. Very distinctive smell. The wikipedia
article is a little off - it was a lot thicker than PVA glue.
They're right about the eating, though - there was always at least one kid
in the class who used to eat the Perkins Paste. I never ate mine. I seem to
recall that the white "handle" on the lid usually looked quite well chewed
by the end of the school term, though <vbg>
Perkins was just the best - Clag just wasn't right, gloppy stuff and a bad
smell (though also distinctive!).

The article's also off in suggesting its distribution may have been
limited to NSW. I remember encountering it (and possibly eating it) in
other States.

I think they say "wallpaper paste" now.

I recall tasting paste a few times in elementary school.
(If you weren't supposed to eat it, why did they make it
so smooth, white, and delightfully minty?)

LOL! I never ate the Perkins Paste myself, but from reading the links that
were posted earlier it appears that it had an almondy/marzipany taste.
