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.

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.
