Cream butter and sugar well. Add eggs 1 at a time. Beat until light and fluffy. Melt the chocolate morsels with the syrup in a double boiler. Add to the butter and egg mixture. Add remaining ingredients, and blend well. Pour batter into a well-greased 10-inch Bundt pan or a 10-inch round pan. Bake for 1 hour or until a wooden pick inserted comes out clean. Cool well before turning out of pan.
This cake is very moist and requires no frosting, but it is delicious with whipped cream.
