2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar

CHOCOLATE TUNNEL CAKE



Chocolate Tunnel Cake image

from A Treasury of Jewish Holiday Baking by Marcy Goldman. Looks good to me. I'm submitting it so I remember to make it some time. Let me know what you think. The idea here is that a luscious "tunnel" of cream cheese and chocolate chips is surrounded by a yummy chocolate cake. The original version of this recipe was a Pillsbury Bake-off winner. To make it dairy free, use soymilk and soy cream cheese. This cake freezes well if wrapped well, and keeps for several days, covered, at room temperature.
