For the bottom layer: Combine sugar, eggs, 1/4 cup melted butter, 2 tbsp water, vanilla extract and chocolate syrup... stir until smooth. Add flour and salt to the chocolate mixture and stir until blended. Pour into the prepared pan and bake for 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out almost clean.
