This works for me:

@Html.Raw(@Html.ActionLink("XXX", "Index", new { }, new { @class = "FormBtn" }).ToHtmlString().Replace("XXX","Back to List"))

Essentially use the ActionLink to create the html with a placeholder for what you want to replace ('XXX'), then convert it an HTML String, replace the placeholder with your markup, render the string as HTML.Raw.
