I picked this recipe up at the grocery store of all places. I omitted the coffee as I don't care for it. It is delicious and very easy to make.
Ingredients:
18 ounces chocolate cake mix (any variety)
1 1/2 ounces four servings instant chocolate pudding mix
4 eggs
8 ounces sour cream

1/2 cup water, plus
1 tablespoon water
3/4 cup flavored instant coffee
8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate baking squares
2 cups thawed whipped topping
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon corn syrup
Directions:
1. Beat cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, sour cream, oil, 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup of the flavored instant coffeee in a large bowl with electric mixer on low speed, just until moistened, scraping side of bowl often.
2. Beat on medium speed 2 minutes or until well blended.
3. Chop 4 squares of chocolate, stir into batter.

7. Stir in remaining 1/4 cup flavored instant coffee into Cool Whip.
8. Place 1 cake layer on serving plate; spread with Cool Whip mixture. TOp with second cake layer.
