    Recipe



    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
    Cream the butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl.
    Add the egg and mix well.
    Add the chocolate syrup, flour , baking powder, salt
    and vanilla.
    Mix well. Pour into four well-greased and floured
    9-inch cake pans.
    Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top of the cakes
    spring back when touched.
    Remove and cool for 15 minutes, then remove the cakes
    from the pans and cool completely on a wire rack

    Make the filling by melting one pound of the chocolate
    chips slowly over low heat until the mixture is
    smooth.
    Cool. Combine the sour cream and the one package of
    the cream cheese.
    Beat until smooth. Add the chocolate and mix well.
    Spread this mixture between the cake layers and set
    each layer on top of one another.

    To make the icing, melt the remaining 12 ounces of
    chocolate chips in a saucepan over medium-low heat.
    Add the powdered sugar, orange-flavored liqueur, milk
    and instant coffee and stir until mixture is smooth.
    Remove from heat and let cool until the mixture is of
    good spreading consistency.
    Spread over the top and sides of the cake.
    Chill for at least four hours before slicing to serve.
