Recipe - Chocolate-Orange Cake

1 cup Sugar
One half Stick unsalted butter
One fourth cup Grand Marnier
One fourth cup Water
1 pack (18.5 oz) devil's food cake
mix
8 ounce Sour cream
1 pack (4 oz) instant chocolate
pudding mix
4 md Eggs
One half cup Vegetable oil
One half cup Water
One fourth cup Coffee liqueur
2 tablespoon Grated orange zest
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
1 12 ounce package semisweet
chocolate chips
Powdered sugar

Combine first 4 ingredients in heavy saucepan. Stir over low heat until
butter melts and sugar dissolves. Increase heat and boil 2 minutes. Cool
completely.

Preheat ovens to 350F. Grease and flour 10 cup bundt or tube pan. Using
Mixer, beat cake mix and next 8 ingredients until well blended. Fold in
chocolate chips and pour in prepared pan. Bake until toothpick inserted
near center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached or around 1 hour.
Immediatly spoon sugar and butter mixture over cake in pan. Let stand 30
minutes.

Turn cake out onto platter and cool completely. Sprinkle top with powdered
sugar.

NOTES : I know the thought of using a "mix" is enough to turn some people
away, but if you are willing to try this, I guarantee you will love it! Try
substituting the coffee liqueur for the Grand Marnier for a more intensely
flavored cake.
