directions
- Preheat oven to 325.

- Beat whipping cream until soft peaks form. Add icing sugar and liqueur to cream and spread over cake. Chill for 2 hours.
- Spoon hot fudge sauce over the cake and place in freezer for 2 hours or longer. (You may not need to use the whole chocolate sauce) Remove from the freezer 10 minutes before serving.
- Hot Fudge Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the coffee, sugar and cocoa. Whisk in the corn syrup until all the sugar crystals are dissolved and the mixture is completely smooth.
- Place the chocolate and butter in a double boiler set over barely simmering water. When the chocolate has melted, whisk in the coffee-cocoa mixture until smooth and blended.
- This sauce is best if left to ripen for a full day before serving. Store in a sealed container. This sauce keeps for 3 weeks in the fridge or 3 months in the freezer.

This is amazing on sooo many levels. 1) Easy to put together (just allow time, then it's in the freezer just waiting for the party!) 2) It is beautiful! 3) And tastes divine! Just a note, I don't put the chocolate sauce on the cake...I just use it for 'bling' on presentation. Everyone ohs and ahs when this gem is placed in front of them, then there is complete silence as everyone savors each bite! Thanks Abby Girl - you rock!
