For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate frosting mix. Toast the walnuts lightly before chopping to enhance their flavor. If you don't have a Bundt pan, you can use a tube pan, but be sure to adjust baking time accordingly. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for best results. For an extra touch, dust the cooled cake with powdered sugar before glazing.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan thoroughly to prevent sticking. Measure out 3/4 cup of the chocolate fudge frosting mix and set aside for the chocolate glaze. (Prep time: 10 minutes)
02
StepIn a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 3-5 minutes using an electric mixer. (Mixing time: 5 minutes)
03
StepBeat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Gradually stir in the remaining frosting mix and all-purpose flour. Mix until just combined; be careful not to overmix, as this can result in a tough cake. (Mixing time: 7 minutes)
04
StepGently fold in the chopped walnuts until they are evenly distributed throughout the batter. (Folding time: 3 minutes)
05
StepPour the batter evenly into the prepared Bundt pan. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 60 minutes. The cake is done when the top forms a brownie-like crust and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs attached. (Bake time: 60 minutes)
06
StepAllow the cake to cool in the pan for 60 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely. This step is crucial to prevent the cake from breaking. (Cooling time: 60 minutes)
07
StepPrepare the chocolate glaze: In a small bowl, combine the reserved 3/4 cup frosting mix with 2 tablespoons of boiling water. Stir until smooth. If the glaze is too thick, add additional boiling water, one teaspoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency. (Glaze prep time: 5 minutes)
08
StepOnce the cake is completely cooled, spoon the chocolate glaze evenly over the top, allowing it to drizzle down the sides. Let the glaze set before serving. (Glazing time: 2 minutes)

May 9, 2025My Bundt pan wasn't perfectly non-stick, and some of the cake stuck. Next time, I'll grease and flour it extra well!
