Ingredients

• 1.5 cups unsalted butter
• 1.5 cups granulated sugar
• 0.75 cups brown sugar, packed
• 6 pieces large eggs
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups powdered sugar
• 0.75 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 cups chopped walnuts (optional)
• 0 as needed nonstick baking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously spray a 12-cup bundt pan with nonstick baking spray, ensuring all crevices are coated.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes using a stand or hand mixer.

Step 3

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure the mixture is well combined.

Step 4

Sift together the flour, powdered sugar, and cocoa powder in a separate bowl.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just incorporated. Avoid overmixing at this stage.

Step 6

If using, fold in the chopped walnuts gently with a spatula until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until the edges of the cake pull away slightly from the pan and the surface appears set. Keep in mind that the center of the cake will still be moist and gooey.

Step 9

Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan on a wire rack for 1 hour.

Step 10

Carefully invert the bundt pan onto a serving plate. Gently lift the pan to release the cake, being cautious not to break it.

Step 11

Slice the cake and serve. The signature 'tunnel of fudge' in the center will be revealed with each cut. Enjoy!
