Ingredients:
1 pkg. (2-layer size) chocolate cake mix, any variety
1 pkg. (4-serving size) chocolate flavor instant pudding & pie filling mix
4 large eggs
1 container (8 oz.) sour cream
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup water
3/4 cup flavored instant coffee, (any flavor), divided
8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, divided
2 cups frozen non-dairy whipped topping, thawed
2 tbsp. butter or margarine
1 tbsp. corn syrup
1 tbsp. water

Instructions:
Beat cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, sour cream, oil, 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup of the flavored instant coffee in large bowl with electric mixer on low speed just until moistened, scraping side of bowl often. Beat on medium speed 2 minutes or until well-blended. Chop 4 ounces of the chocolate, stir into batter. Pour into 2 greased and floured 9-inch round cake pans.

Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 30 to 33 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 15 minutes; remove from pans. Cool on wire racks.

Stir remaining 1/4 cup flavored instant coffee into thawed whipped topping. Place 1 cake layer on serving plate, spread with 2 cups of the whipped topping mixture. Top with second cake layer.

Refrigerate until ready to serve. Just before serving, microwave remaining 4 ounces of chocolate, butter, corn syrup and water in medium microwavable bowl on HIGH 1-1/2 minutes. Stir until chocolate is completely melted. Spread glaze over top of cake, allowing glaze to drip down side of cake.

Makes 12 to 16 servings.

Looks great, but does this mean you don't have to use sour cream?
