Orghrghlrghlgh

That's my best answer to the question posed on this page: How would you transcribe Homer's drooling sound into the written (or typed) word?

The cause of said drooling, in my case, is a worthy one if ever there was one: the tunnel-of-fudge cake. The recipe has a few words that bolster the salivatory effect:

You cannot use the toothpick test because the cake contains so much sugar that the center will not set but will remain a tunnel-of-fudge. You are dependent on a correct oven temperature and the 45-minute cooking time.

In other words, you really have no choice but to leave things as a gooey, oozy, half-baked mess.

Orghrghlrghlgh.

Thanks to numerous family members for the link!

Update: The creator of the bundt pan (originally called the "bund pan"), H. David Dalquist, has passed away. The pan was designed in 1950 at the request of members of the Minneapolis Chapter of the Hadassah Society, and actually first gained fame after it was used to make an award-winning tunnel of fudge cake. Now I suppose I just have to make one in his memory - he would have wanted it that way.
