Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 350ðF (177ðC).
-
Line two 9-inch round cake pans with waxed paper; butter and flour the pans, tapping out any excess flour.
-
In a mixer bowl, beat the butter until light and fluffy.
-
Gradually add the sugar and continue beating until smooth.
-
One at a time, beat in the eggs until well-blended.
-
Sift together the flour, cocoa, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
-
Add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture in thirds, alternating with the milk, mixing only until blended.
-
Blend in the vanilla and chocolate-mint liqueur.
-
Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared pans.
-
Bake until the tops of the cakes are springy to the touch, about 40 to 45 minutes.
-
Remove from the oven and set on racks to cool for 30 minutes.
-
Loosen the edges with a knife and unmold.
-
Peel off the waxed paper and set the cakes on a rack to cool completely.
-
To make the fudge filling, combine sugar, cream, chocolate, and corn syrup in a small heavy saucepan.
-
Bring to a simmer over moderate heat, stirring frequently.
-
Reduce heat to low and cook for 10 minutes, or until the mixture thickens.
-
Remove from heat, dot the top with butter, and cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes.
-
When cool, stir in the butter until the fudge filling is smooth and creamy.
-
To make the chocolate cream, beat heavy cream and cocoa until soft peaks form.
-
Gradually add confectioners' sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
-
To assemble, cover one cake layer with all of the fudge filling.
-
Sprinkle evenly with chocolate chips.
-
Spread 1/2 cup of the chocolate cream on top of the chips.
-
Top with the second cake layer.
-
Cover the top and sides of the cake with half of the remaining chocolate cream.
-
Use the remainder of the cream in a pastry bag to decorate the cake as desired.
-
Refrigerate for up to 3 hours before serving.
-
To make the syrup, combine cocoa, corn syrup, sugar, and 2 tablespoons of water in a small heavy saucepan.
-
Bring to a simmer over low heat and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes.
-
Transfer the syrup to a small bowl and cool to room temperature, stirring once or twice to prevent a skin from forming.
-
Just before serving, drizzle the syrup over the top of the cake in a lacy design.
