    Cheesecake Tunnel Cake

    Ingredients

    • CAKE
    • 1 Chocolate Fudge cake mix with pudding in the mix
    • 1 cup sour cream
    • ½ cup water
    • ½ cup vegetable oil
    • 4 large eggs
    • FILLING
    • 8 oz. cream cheese softened
    • 1 egg
    • ⅓ c. sugar
    • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
    • GLAZE
    • ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips

    Instructions

    • DIRECTIONS:
    • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
    • For the cake: Place the cake mix, sour cream, water, oil and eggs in a large mixing bowl. Blend with an electric mixer on low speed for 1 minute. Stop the machine and scrape down the sides of the bowl. Beat 2 to 3 minutes more until combined.
    • Pour ⅔ of the batter in a greased and floured 12 cup bundt pan.
    • Mix together filling ingredients. Spread filling over the batter and top with remaining batter
    • Bake for 45-55 minutes until the cake springs back when lightly pressed and is starting to pull away from the sides of the pan.
    • Cool on wire rack for 20 min, invert it onto a rack and cool 20 minutes more.
    • For the glaze, combine the chocolate chips and milk in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until the chocolate has melted and the mixture has thickened slightly, 1 to 2 minutes.
    • Place the cake on a serving platter and drizzle the warm glaze over it. (I usually just melt the chips with the milk in the microwave, put the glaze in a Ziploc, cut the corner and drizzle it over the cake.)
    • Store cake covered in the refrigerator.

      Do you think a gluten free chocolate cake mix would work with this?   Would I need to add an instant pudding mix since I don’t think they make them with pudding added?   And would the amounts of sour cream, eggs, water and oil be the same?
      I would really like to try this…looks absolutely delicious!    Thanks.

        I don’t know as I haven’t tried it but I’ve had really good luck using gluten free cake mixes in recipes in the past. I don’t know what you would need for all the sour cream and such though. So not very helpful but I think it’s possible.
