In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Combine the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt; add to creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk. Dissolve coffee in water; add to batter. Beat for 2 minutes. Line three 8-in baking sheets with waxed paper. Lightly grease and flour wax paper. Pour batter into pans. Bake at 350°F for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely. Remove wax paper lining. For filling, beat whipping cream until it begins to thicken, add icing sugar and continue to beat until stiff peaks form. Fold in coffee flavored liqueur and 5 finely crushed Skor candy bars. Place bottom cake layer on a serving plate; top with 1/3 of topping. Repeat layers twice. Sprinkle top of torte with coarsely crushed Skor candy bar. Store in the refrigerator.
