They call it [Trio Treat](http://www.oetker.us/en/product/dessert-mixes/gelatin) and it comes in Grape, Strawberry, Lime or Orange. 🙂 I was just thinking about Jell-o 1-2-3 last week. I tried some of the refrigerated Jell-o sugar-free mousse puddings in chocolate, and the first thing that came to my mind was, “This is the consistency of one of the Jell-o 1-2-3 layers.” ---

I really can’t be positive any more. ---

> [@LunarPlexus](#): > > Oddly, I was just reading about this last week. The original Tunnel of Fudge cake - winner of the 1966 Pillsbury Bake-Off® - turned an obscure pan basically made by one guy in his basement into a staple of kitchens everywhere. The magic ingredient was Pillsbury Double Dutch Fudge Butter Cream Frosting mix. The frosting was mixed into the batter and mysteriously formed a tunnel. > > Pillsbury discontinued the frosting in the '80s and has retconned the recipe a couple of times, but, evidently, it just ain’t the same. That sounds familiar… didn’t Cook’s Illustrated recreate that, a while back? Off to google… [Cook’s Country](http://www.cookscountry.com/pwlogin.asp?did=4576&area=recipe&iseason=), but yeah. I remember thinking that was one to try. And now y’all have made me nostalgic-curious about it. ---

> [@faithfool](#): > > Gosh, this is making me hungry. 🙂 I love bundt cakes, but what I’m missing right now is the Tres Leche cake mix that Duncan Hines sells. Of course, after I fell in love with it, my local Wal\*Mart has quit carrying it. I now have a recipe, but I wonder if it’ll be close to the same… Found it here: [http://www.crossroads-market.com/hard-to-find-grocer/Duncan-Hines-Tres-Leche-3-Milk-Cake-Mix-1825oz/productinfo/HFDE455/](http://www.crossroads-market.com/hard-to-find-grocer/Duncan-Hines-Tres-Leche-3-Milk-Cake-Mix-1825oz/productinfo/HFDE455/) ---

I was at a flea market a few months back and picked up an old Bundt cookbook put out by Nordicware. I haven’t used any of the recipes yet because I don’t have a bundt cakepan at the moment but here’s a couple of their recipes. Tunnel of Fudge cake 1 3/4 cups butter or margarine, softened 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar 6 eggs 2 cups powdered sugar 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour 3/4 cup cocoa 2 cups chopped walnuts (the nuts are necessary for this recipe and should not be omitted) Glaze: 3/4 cup powdered sugar 1/4 cup cocoa 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons milk Beat butter and granulated sugar together until fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time and beat the mixture after each one. Gradually blend in the powdered sugar. Blend in the flour, cocoa, and walnuts. Spoon into a 10 or 12 cup bundt pan. Bake at 350 degrees for sixty minutes. You can’t test the cake for being done because it’s supposed to have a gooey center. Let the cake cool in the pan for an hour then invert it onto a plate. Let if cool the rest of the way. Mix the glaze ingredients and spoon over the top of the cake. Let it drip down the sides. Chocolate Macaroon cake 2 cups shifted flour 1 3/4 cups sugar 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon baking soda 2 teaspoons vanilla 3/4 cup cold water 1/2 cup shortening 1/2 cup sour cream 4 eggs (reserve one egg white for the filling) Filling: 1 egg white 1/4 cup sugar 1 cup coconut 1 tablespoon flour 1 teaspoon vanilla Make the filling first. Beat the egg white at high speed until peaks form. Gradually add in the sugar and keep beating. Blend in coconut, flour and vanilla by hand. Set the filling aside. Make the cake. Combine all the ingredients. Beat them together at low speed and then mix them at medium speed for three minutes. Pour cake batter into a floured and greased 10 or 12 cup bundt pan. Drop spoonfuls of filling into the batter. Bake at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes. Let it cool in the pan for about 15 mins and then invert on to a plate. Let it cool the rest of the way. Top with chcocolate or orange glaze. ---

Can you have a top layer of melted cheese? Because that’s the best part of the lasagna in my opinion. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-happened-to-bundt-cakes/525798.md?page=2)
