Tunnel of Fudge

"Arguably the most famous recipe ever to originate in a cooking contest is Tunnel of Fudge Cake, entered in the 1966 Pillsbury Bake-Off by Houstonian Ella Rita Helfrich. It 'made a diminutive Houston mother of five a celebrity, changed the fortunes of a small company in Minneapolis (Nordic Ware) and made a little-known European pan (the Bundt pan) a mainstay of nearly every American kitchen.'" Recipe for TOF plus other prize winners from Houston here.
