I'm so happy! :D I found the recipe. I noticed quite a few hits on my request. It must be that you are looking for the recipe as well. Here it is:
Chocolate Macaroon Tunnel Cake
1 1/4 cups sugar
6 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 large eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups low-fat buttermilk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup flaked sweetened coconut
1 1/2 teaspoons coconut flavoring, divided
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa
Cooking Spray
3/4 cup sifted powdered sugar
1 tablespoon skim milk

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Combine 1 1/4 cups sugar and oil in a large bowl, beating well at medium speed of an electric mixer. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition.
3. Combine flour, baking soda, and salt; add flour mixture to sugar mixture alternately with buttermilk, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Mix after each addition. Stir in vanilla.
4. Combine 1 cup batter, coconut, and 1 teaspoon coconut flavoring in a small bowl; stir well. Add cocoa to remaining batter in large bowl; stir well. Reserve 1 cup chocolate batter and set aside. Pour remaining chocolate batter into 12-cup Bundt pan coated with cooking spray. Spoon coconut batter over center of batter to form a ring making sure not to touch sides of pan. Top with reserved chocolate batter, spreading evenly to cover.
5. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan 10 minutes; remove from pan. Cool on a wire rack. Combine remaining 1/2 teaspoon coconut flavoring, powdered sugar, and skim milk; stir well. Drizzle over cake. Yield: 16 servings.

Please let me know-- has anyone tried this cake? It was in the October 1996 issue of CL (but it is on the website) and the readers ratings were lukewarm. One said that it was too heavy, another that it lacked chocolatey flavor. But another thought it was great! This is for a party and I don't want to make a loser recipe. Any help?
