• 2. MULTIPLE LAYERS WITH THE FUGDE FROSTING FILLING HELP MAKE THIS CAKE BE SUPER MOIST AND TASTE LIKE FUDGE THAT HAS CAKE INTEGRATED INTO IT. IT DOES NOT REALLY TASTE AT ALL LIKE CAKE ...BUT FUDGE. DO NOT LET THE FUDGE "SET" BEFORE PUTTING ON THE CAKE. THAT IS REALLY THE MAJOR SECRET. YOU CAN PUT SOME MARSHMALLOW CREME ON IT SEPARATELY FOR STUNNING LOOKS. THE WHITE AGAINST THE DEVILS FOOD DARK COLOR IS STUNNING AND MAKES A NICE PRESENTATION.
• 3. YOU CAN SPRINKLE PECANS ON TOP FOR LOOKS. YOU CAN MAKE MULTIPLE LAYERS SO THE FUDGE FROSTING IS MORE INTEGRATED THROUGHOUT THE ACTUAL CAKE.

• Place the egg yolks and whole egg in a large bowl with the sugar and beat together until thick and light in colour. Melt the chocolate gently in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, stirring occasionally. Dissolve the coffee granules in the water and add to the melted chocolate. Cool slightly, then stir into the egg mixture along with the ground almonds.
• In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff but not dry. Carefully fold into the egg and chocolate mixture. Turn into the prepared tin and gently level the surface.
• Bake in the pre-heated oven for about 50 minutes or until well risen, and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Leave to cool in the tin for 10 minutes then turn out, peel off the parchment and finish cooling on a wire rack.
• Measure the apricot jam into a small saucepan and allow to melt over a low heat. Brush over the cake. To make the icing, melt the chocolate gently in a bowl set over a pan of hot water, stirring occasionally. Add the butter and stir until the icing has the consistency of thick pouring cream, cooling if necessary.
• Stand the wire rack on a baking tray to catch any drips, then pour the icing over the cake smoothing it over the top and sides with a palette knife. Allow to set, then decorate if you like. This recipe is featured in Mary Berry's Baking Bible.

UPDATED TUNNEL OF FUDGE CAKE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 F.
• Measure flour by lightly spooning the flour into the measuring cup, NOT by scooping the measuring cup into the flour. The scoop-and-level method is incorrect and will make this cake too dry.
• In a large bowl, combine butter, white sugar and brown sugar and beat until mixture is light and fluffy. Add melted and cooled chocolate, beating until combined.
• Add eggs, one at a time, beating thoroughly after each addition until eggs combine with butter mixture (this can take some time).
• Sift the confectioners' sugar BEFORE you measure it. Gradually add it to the batter, mixing well. By hand, stir in flour, cocoa, vanilla, and pecans until well blended.
• Spray a 12-cup Bundt pan with nonstick baking spray combined with flour. Spoon batter into prepared pan. Bake at 350 F for 48 to 54 minutes, until crust looks dry and shiny ( traditional doneness tests won't work because of the soft fudge center).
• Cool cake in pan on a rack for 1 hour, then invert onto serving plate and remove pan. Cool completely. If you bake the cake for a shorter period of time, it will have true fudge in the center. Bake it longer for a moist tunnel in the center.
• Make the glaze by placing the chocolate chips and oil in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on 50 percent power for 2 minutes and then stir. Continue microwaving until chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.
• Pour into a small zip-top bag. Cut a tiny piece off the corner of the bag and pipe the chocolate over the cake, using a back-and-forth motion. Let cool.
