Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Make the filling: In a large bowl, cream together the 2 cups sugar, 2 cups flour and butter until smooth. Beat in the eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla until well blended. Mix in the chocolate syrup, almond extract, flour, baking powder and baking soda. Combine the flour, baking powder and soda; stir into the creamed mixture until well blended. Fold in the chocolate mixture. Spread filling into the prepared pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow to cool completely.
In a large bowl, beat the 4 cups confectioners' sugar until smooth. Stir in the chocolate mixture. Beat in the milk and confectioners' sugar 1 cup at a time. Spread onto cake during the last 10 minutes of baking.
