This cake is awesome if you love fudge and nuts. This is a recipe I found on a can of Pillsbury Frosting 30 years ago. I baked it up until 10 years ago when I lost the recipe which I recently found. You can use whatever cake mix and frosting brand you want, just get the correct flavors. ENJOY !!!

    Immediately invert pan onto serving plate.
