Made a choc cake & it just doesn't have much of a choc taste. Hate to trash it, so any idea how I can add flavor? Is there a choc simple syrup or something I can pour or brush onto it? Any prescriptions are welcomed 
There is something I see online called Magic Chocolate(or other way). I have been told by many that it tastes good and gives it that pretty dark color and super flavor. I don't have time to look for it right now, but maybe search the net for it. It comes in a jar with a screw top.
HTH!
Next time, substitute some strong coffee for the liquid. Or make espresso with instant espresso powder. Smells wicked bad, but it really boosts the chocolatiness. Not my idea - stole it from others at CC! I will never make another chocolate cake without it!
Depending on the recipe I've found that the chocolate flavor becomes more intense after a couple of days.
I've made some recipes that I've thought tasted pretty bland on the first day but given time for the ingredients and flavors to develop, the chocolate flavor becomes much more evident.
Let us know if this is the case with this particular cake.
I agree about subbing out the liquid with coffee, I do this with almost all of my chocolate cake recipes.....you can't taste *coffee*, just a rich chocolate flavor......oh and be sure to use high quality chocolate or cocoa.
add strong coffee in place of some of your liquid, really works great
Use the best Dutch Cocoa you can find - that way you will get the true Chocolate taste - without having to add coffee.
Plus the better the cocoa - the richer colour your cake will be... and lighter in texture as good cocoa is so fine - it distributes better throughout the batter.

I agree with dkelly - any cake tastes better the next day, but especially chocolate.
